Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F convection) and line a 9×13″ pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix diced apples with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix 3/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, and 1/2 cup melted butter to make the swirl. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and baking powder.
  5. Add milk, vanilla, and eggs; mix until just combined. Stir in melted butter.
  6. Fold in the apple mixture.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Dollop the cinnamon swirl over the batter and gently swirl with a knife.
  9. Bake for 40–45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  10. While baking, mix powdered sugar with milk to make glaze.
  11. Pour glaze over the warm cake. Let cool for 45 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to 6 days.
  • For freezing, wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Use firm apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
  • Swirl should remain slightly gooey after baking—this is normal.
