1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
2 large eggs

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them into thin pieces.
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Combine the wet ingredients in another bowl: eggs, milk, and melted butter.
Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined.
Add the sliced apples to your batter, folding them in evenly.
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack.

Serving

Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness.
