Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 cups | Flour |
| 2 cups | Sugar |
| 3 tsp | Baking Powder |
| 1/8 tsp | Salt |
| 1 cup | Eggs (approximately 4 eggs) |
| 4 cups | Milk |
| 1/2 tsp | Vanilla Extract |
| 2 1/2 cups | Apples (sliced) |
| 3 tbsp | Sugar |
| 1 tbsp | Cinnamon |
Instructions:
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
-
Prepare wet ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Crack the eggs into the well and pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and any reserved juice from the apples. Mix well until a smooth batter forms.
-
Layer the batter: Grease and sugar a 10-inch tube pan. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Add apple slices: Arrange half of the sliced apples around the pan on top of the batter.
-
Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon: Generously sprinkle the layer of apples with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, ensuring even coverage.
-
Repeat layers: Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer, spreading it out evenly. Add the rest of the sliced apples on top of the batter.
-
Final sugar sprinkle: Sprinkle another layer of sugar over the apples, ensuring they are well coated.
-
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared pan in the oven and bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
