Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Scrape the sides of your bowl if needed
Then add the vanilla, cinnamon (if using), and rum, and beat to incorporate.
Turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture. Mix to combine with a spatula just until it's all incorporated.
Gently fold in your chopped apples.

Pour your cake batter into your prepared cake pan
Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool on a cooling rack before removing it from the pan, sprinkling it with confectioners' sugar, and placing it on a serving plate for decoration.
