  • Fold in the apples until well coated with the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 40 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack, then remove from pan, using a knife to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan if necessary. Serve and enjoy!
