Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 6 apples of choice peeled and cored, then diced
  • 3 cups of flour
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 ½ cups of milk
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup melted butter

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Prepare a 9x13 baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cinnamon, salt, baking powder, flour, sugar, milk and eggs.
  • Combine well, then add in ½ of the diced apples and stir well.
  • Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the batter while continuing to mix on low.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining apple pieces onto the top of the batter.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the ingredients for the topping and combine well.
  • Place scoops of this thick mix over the batter.
  • Take a butter knife and run it through the thick batter and the cake to give it a marble effect.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients until smooth.
  • When the cake cools completely, drizzle the entire top of the cake with the glaze.

Notes

  • I recommend waiting until the cake has cooled a bit before slicing; it will help with keeping the cake together. 
  • Try adding apple cider and cinnamon to the glaze for a bit of an extra flavor. 
  • Feel free to mix and match your apples for a different flavor. Try to incorporate a few sweet and a few tart!
