  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  9. If desired, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
  10. Slice the cake and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor.
