Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Apples: Opt for apples that hold their shape well during baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Preparing the Apples: Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin, even pieces. This will ensure they cook evenly and retain their texture.
  • Mixing the Batter: Use room temperature ingredients for optimal blending. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then gradually beat in the eggs one at a time.
  • Incorporating Dry Ingredients: Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with milk to prevent lumps. Mix just until combined to avoid over-developing the gluten, which can result in a tough cake.
  • Folding in the Apples: Gently fold the sliced apples into the batter until evenly distributed. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can break down the apples and make the cake dense.
  • Baking the Cake: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature before placing the cake batter in. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, typically around 45-55 minutes.
  • Cooling and Serving: Let the cake cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze for an elegant touch.
