  5. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Spread half of the batter into the pan, layer with half the apples, then top with remaining batter and apples.
  7. Mix sugar and cinnamon for the topping and sprinkle over the apples.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
