Apple Cinnamon Cake

If you have a couple of extra apples laying around, I insist you make this cake.  It is sweet and moist and great for a dessert or breakfast!  

Think of it like a coffee cake (although this is not dry AT ALL) and then you won't feel so guilty about eating cake for breakfast.  It is just heavenly with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee! 

Serves 8

Apple Cinnamon Cake

1 stick of butter, room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon milk

1 teaspoon white vinegar

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups, peeled, diced apples (about 2 apples)

1 tablespoon cinnamon

For the topping 

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons butter, diced

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  In a bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar together.  In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar and add baking soda to dissolve.  Add to butter/sugar mixture and mix well.  Add eggs and mix well.  Add salt, flour and vanilla.  Fold in apples and cinnamon.  

Pour batter in a greased round cake pan.  In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the topping and start mashing with a fork until it becomes crumbly.  Sprinkle topping over batter.  

Bake for 40-45 minutes.
