For the  Cake:

3 large  apples, peeled, cored, and diced

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

3 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Topping:

1/4 cup sliced almonds

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan or a tube pan.

Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Add half of the diced apples over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the apples and top with the remaining apples.

Topping: Sprinkle the sliced almonds, sugar, and ground cinnamon over the top of the cake.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve: Slice and serve the apple cake with a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy!
