How to Make Apple Cake With Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  1. **Make the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. **Prepare the Dry Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. **Cream Together Wet Ingredients:** In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, and 4 large eggs using an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
  4. **Combine Wet and Dry:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until just combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
  5. **Prepare Apples:** Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). In a separate bowl, toss the apples with half of the cinnamon-sugar topping.
  6. **Fold in Apples:** Gently fold half of the apples into the cake batter.
  7. **Bake the Cake:** Pour the batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. Top with the remaining apples and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar topping.
  8. **Bake:** Bake in a preheated 325°F (160°C) oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. **Cool:** Let the cake cool in the pan for 1 hour before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
