Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃. For easy removal of the cake, place parchment paper on the bottom and 2 sides of the pan. Gently grease the two sides without parchment paper and then set aside. Cut the apples, about 2 cups total.

  2. 2

    In a medium sized bowl, add in flour, oats, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, add softened butter and white sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until it’s light and fluffy. Make sure to scrap the sides of the bowl.

  4. 4

    Add in the eggs, vanilla, and applesauce. Continue mixing on medium speed until smooth.

  5. 5

    Mix in the dry ingredients and using a spatula, gently fold until a batter forms. Do not overmix!

  6. 6

    Slice the apples into small cubes and add into the bowl. Gently mix until JUST combined, don't over-mix!

  7. 7

    Spread the batter into the prepared pan evenly. In a small cup, add white sugar and cinnamon and mix together. Then sprinkle on top evenly. This will give you a sweet crunchy top.

  8. 8

    Bake for 35-45 minutes, depending on your oven. It took me 45 minutes. Allow it to cool, slice, and enjoy!
