Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 medium apples (any baking apple will work)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (can use regular sugar if desired)
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • whipped cream or cool whip

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350 and spray a 9X9 baking dish with baking spray
  • Core and slice apples (peel if desired) add light brown sugar and cinnamon and mix well
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time. (Don't use a mixer as the cake will be more like bread pudding...ask me how I know this.)
  • Add the flour, baking powder until just combined. (do not overbeat)
  • Layer half the batter in the baking dish, followed by half the apple mixture. (You can arrange apples or just "spread" them..it really doesn't matter as they will cook and blend in the baking)
  • Add remaining batter on top of the apples followed by remainder of the apples.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, checking for doneness. Add or subtract time as needed, but do not overbake.
  • Spoon or cut into squares and serve with whipped cream topping
