Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 medium apple
  • ½ cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, 0.75 cup sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp cinnamon.

  2. 2

    Peel and core 2 apples, then chop into small cubes. Stir the apples into the dry mixture until well coated. Add 0.5 cup water and mix until just combined—batter will be thick.

  3. 3

    Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle 0.5 cup sliced almonds evenly over the surface.

  4. 4

    Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
