Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Pie Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ground nutmeg. Toss until evenly coated and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy for about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully combined.
  5. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, alternating with milk.
  6. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and pour half of the batter into it.
  7. Layer the coated apple mixture on top of the first layer of batter, then pour the remaining batter over the apples.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool the cake slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
