Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  • Toss the chopped apples with the lemon juice, then fold them gently into the batter.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and melted butter until crumbly, then sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool until warm.
  • Whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the slightly warm cake.
  • Let the glaze set for 10 minutes, slice, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Store leftover cake covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Warm briefly before serving for a fresh-baked feel.
