3. Assemble the Cake:
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan—it will be thick. Arrange the apple slices on top in a circular pattern, overlapping slightly.
Mix the cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of sugar together and sprinkle over the apples.
4. Bake:
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.
☕ Serving Suggestions:
- Serve warm or at room temperature
- Perfect with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Best enjoyed with coffee and a cozy conversation
