Apple Cake

This is an easy, simple and delicious cake recipe that my mother's dear friend Rosie shared with us years ago. Since then, its become a classic with our family. The soft sweet apples, dense smooth cake, and crunchy top are a great combination.

What you'll need:

4-5 Apples
1 tsp Brown Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon

2 Eggs
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Oil
1 cup Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Granulated Sugar
1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Core and peel the apples.

Slice the apples into wedges into a large bowl.

Toss with 1 tsp brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon.

Place apples into a greased 8" square pan. Just look at that cinnamony goodness, oh yum.

In a separate large bowl, beat eggs and sugar.  Add oil and mix.

Add flour, baking powder and cinnamon, and mix to combine.

Pour the batter over apples, and try to move the bowl as you pour, to get it all around.

If you want the crust to have a nice cinnamon sugar taste, then take the last 1/2 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the batter.

Bake at 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

And there you have it! A simple cake that you can easily serve alone, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
