Instructions

1. Wash peel your apples. We use Granny Smith Baking Apples.
2. Slice your apples into slices, as you would for an apple pie (as opposed to chunks.) Try to get the slices to be as uniform as possible so they will bake evenly in the cake. Sprinkle the apples with a squeeze of lemon to keep them from browning.
3. Add the flour, cinnamon, and baking into a bowl.
4. Whisk together until the cinnamon is well combined with the flour.
5. In a second bowl, add the oil and eggs. Beat them on medium speed with a mixer until the eggs are frothy.
6. Add the sugar and the vanilla.
7. Continue to mix until the ingredients are combined.
8. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the cake batter.
9. Mix with a spoon until just combined.
10. Add the apples.
11. Fold in the apples.  The mixture will be sticky and thick.
12. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan.  Spread the cake batter evenly in the pan.
13. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 60 minutes.  The cake will be golden brown on the top.  Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the frosting.
14. While the Apple Cake is cooling, make up a batch of our super creamy and delicious The Best Cream Cheese Frosting.  You’ll find all the directions you’ll need right here!
15. When the cake is completely cooled, frost it with the Cream Cheese Frosting.
