Name: Apple Sugar Cinnamon Cake
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup Brown Sugar; 1/3 cups Canola Oil; 1 Egg; 1 cup Buttermilk; 1 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract; 2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour; 1-1/2 cup Chopped Apples; 1 Tablespoon Butter, Plus More For Greasing Baking Dish; 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar; 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

1
Preheat oven to 160u00b0C (325u00b0F). I used a ceramic casserole form 22x33 cm (9x13 inch), which I placed in the cold oven before turning it on. I find this to be good when baking in ceramic forms, otherwise I find that the dish needs a longer baking time than it would need in another kind of dish. You will not need to do this if using a regular cake pan.
2
With an electric mixer, whisk brown sugar, oil, egg and buttermilk. Add baking soda and vanilla extract. Mix in flour and then chopped apples.
3
Melt butter in a small pan. Remove from heat and add granulated sugar and cinnamon. Stir to mix.
4
Take the casserole form out of the oven (if you decided to use a ceramic dish as well). Place a small knob of butter into it and move it around the dish with a brush to grease the form all over. Pour the batter into the dish. Top with the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place back in the oven, but don't forget the dish is already hot (I forgot and burned my fingers).
5
Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until deep golden brown. You can serve the cake warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
