Instructions

Wash the apples well. Remove seeds and core, but no need to peel. Cut them into small cubes and set aside
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and flour a round bundt pan (approximately 24 cm in diameter)
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the oil and vanilla extract, mixing well
Sift the wheat flour and cinnamon over the liquid mixture. Gently fold in, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix only until the flour disappears, to avoid overdeveloping the glute

Notes

Choose firm, slightly sweet apples like Fuji, Gala, or Golden. Granny Smith also works for a tart contrast.

Do not peel the apples; the skin adds fiber, color, and moisture.

Do not overmix the batter once flour is added, to prevent a dense cake.

Test doneness with a toothpick; avoid opening the oven before 30 minutes.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for up to 5 days, well covered.

Reheat individual slices in the microwave (15-30 seconds) or oven (150°C for 5-10 minutes).

For variations, substitute part of the flour with whole wheat, use brown sugar, add nuts, raisins, chocolate chips, or ginger powder. Pears can replace apples. A simple cream cheese frosting can be added.
