- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Peel and slice the apples. Gently fold the apples into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cookie sheet and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
