Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, remaining sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Arrange half of the apple slices on top. Repeat with the remaining batter and apple slices.

- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
