| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 2 | Prepare Pan: Grease and flour a 13×9-inch baking pan, ensuring the cake won’t stick. |
| 3 | Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and well blended, using a hand whisk or spatula. |
| 4 | Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated, forming a thick batter. |
| 5 | Fold in Apples: Gently fold in the chopped apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter, ensuring every bite is filled with delicious apple goodness. |
| 6 | Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure even baking. |
| 7 | Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. |
| 8 | Serve: Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm slices of Mom’s Fresh Apple Cake on its own, or elevate it with a dollop of butter or a generous serving of whipped cream. |
