Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract, letting its lovely flavor blend in with the batter.
  5. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternately pouring in the milk. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the sliced apples, making sure to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Baking
  1. Pour the finished batter into your prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Once done, let the cake cool before serving.

Notes

Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent evening treat. Dust the top with powdered sugar for a simple yet elegant finish.
