Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 2-3 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and diced small
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 10-inch (25 cm) cake pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a stand mixer, beat together the granulated sugar, butter, and egg until combined. Mix in the milk, vanilla extract, self-rising flour, and apples.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the top. Use a toothpick to swirl the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a rack to cool completely, then cut and serve.

Notes
- I used self-rising flour to speed up the baking process.
- If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour combined with baking powder and salt. For this recipe, add 2 1/4 teaspoons of baking power plus 1/3 teaspoon salt.
- For a quick cake like this, I diced up Granny Smith apples to incorporate into the batter.
- Using a toothpick, I lightly swirled the two ingredients into the batter, so the traditional coffee cake flavors are present within, but still remain close to the surface to create a crisp top.
- Spices, like ground nutmeg and cloves, can also be added to create warmer flavors.
