  • 3 cups peeled and sliced apples about 3 medium apples
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Fold in the sliced apples, cinnamon, and lemon juice gently with a spatula.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel drizzle if desired.

Notes

Use a mix of tart and sweet apples (like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp) for balanced flavor. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake soft. For extra indulgence, top with a crumb streusel before baking or drizzle with caramel sauce when serving.
