tougher cake texture.
Step 5 – Prepare the Apples
Peel the apples if desired, then slice them thin or cut them into small cubes. Using thinner slices gives a more delicate texture, while cubes create juicy apple pockets inside the cake.
Step 6 – Assemble and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Arrange the apple slices or cubes evenly on top or gently fold them into the batter. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, depending on your oven and pan depth.
