How to Make Apple Sugar Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x12 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 4-5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced. Arrange the apple slices so the edges are facing upwards.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
