    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
    • 2/3 cup light brown sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 2 medium apples, peeled, cut into slices
    • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

    • 1 large egg
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 or 9 x9 inch pan with nonstick spray.

      With the mixer on low add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beating after each addition until the batter is smooth. (Make sure not to overmix)
    • Pour the batter on top of the apples spreading in an even layer with a spatula.
    • Bake for 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean.
    • Allow the cake to cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes then transfer to a serving plate turning the cake over upside down to loosen the can.
      Serve immediately and enjoy!
