How to Make Brown Sugar Apple Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Peel, core, and chop the apples. Gently fold the apples into the batter.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
