APPLE SNACKING CAKE

This old fashioned, super moist, snack cake is quick, easy and only takes ONE apple!! It is the PERFECT snacking cake and goes wonderfully in a lunch box.

1/3 cup brown sugar lightly packed

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2/3 cup white sugar

1/2 cup butter (room temperature)

2 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups flour

1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup milk

1 large apple

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease and flour a 9"x5" loaf pan.

Core and peel the apple then pulse it in the food processor a few times until the pieces are about the size of a green pea.

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together and set aside.

Beat white sugar and butter together until smooth and creamy; beat in eggs, one at a time; add vanilla, flour and baking powder and beat until smooth, then stir in the milk and chopped apples, until the batter is well mixed.

Place 1/3 of the batter in the loaf pan and top with 1/3 of the sugar-cinnamon mixture; do that two more times, ending with sugar cinnamon.

Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes (my electric oven takes 40 minutes) or until toothpick tests clean.
