a soft cake filled with juicy apples, topped with cinnamon and sugar. This is a real fall treat. I find fall truly inspiring, something like a break between summer and winter and the upcoming holidays.
Easy Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cake is my sort of cake – easy to make, very tasty and everyone in my family loves it, so it is often on our menu at this time of year…. actually, whenever I want to feel that magical smell coming from the warm oven. It always makes me feel good.

Easy Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cake – a soft cake filled with juicy apples, topped with cinnamon and sugar. This is a real fall treat. I find fall truly inspiring, something like a break between summer and winter and the upcoming holidays.
Ingredients
1½ cup cake flour
1½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoon cinnamon, divided
1⅓ cup granulated sugar, divided
½ tablespoon cornstarch
4 cups apples peeled and chopped into cubes (I used Gala)
3 large eggs
1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 inch baking pan with wax paper.
In a small dish combine 1 teaspoon cinnamon and ⅓ cup sugar. Set aside.
Combine apples,1 teaspoon cinnamon and cornstarch in a medium dish. Set aside.
Combine cake flour, baking powder and salt in a medium dish. Set aside.
In a large dish, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla, at high speed, until light and fluffy. Change the speed to Low. Add a ½ flour mixture. Beat until well combined.
Add ½ melted butter, then the rest of cake flour mixture and finally the other half of the melted butter. Fold in the apples. Spread evenly into the baking pan.
Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake for 50-55 min or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs on it.
Take out of the oven and leave in the baking pan for a few minutes to cool. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Keep at a room temperature, covered with plastic foliage.
