Ingredients

• 3 medium apples, pared and diced
• 1-1/2 cups flour, sifted
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• Zest from one lemon
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 3 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla. Then, stir in the lemon rind.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Then, gently fold in the apples.

Pour the mixture into a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping on top and bake for 30 minutes.

Serve the cake warm and dollop each slice with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
