How to Make Auntie Mary's Jewish Apple Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Peel, core, and chop 6 medium apples (about 6 cups chopped). In a medium bowl, toss the apples with 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spread half of the cinnamon apples evenly over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter over the apples, and top with the remaining apples.
Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
