  • Total Time: 55-60 minutes
  • Yield: 12 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 3 medium apples, peeled and sliced
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold sliced apples into the batter for even distribution.
  7. Pour batter into prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. Optional: sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Use tart or sweet apples based on your flavor preference.
  • Ensure ingredients like baking powder are gluten-free if needed.
  • For enhanced flavor, add nutmeg or allspice, swirl caramel into the batter, or top with chopped nuts.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated up to 7 days.
  • Reheat slices in the microwave briefly to enjoy warm.
