Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.75 teaspoon baking soda

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch glass baking dish.

Step 2

Mix flour, brown sugar, oil, white sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, salt, and ginger together in a large bowl until well combined. Transfer 1/2 cup flour mixture to a second bowl and stir in remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon; set topping aside.

Step 3

Whisk baking powder and baking soda into flour mixture. Beat buttermilk and egg together in a measuring cup until well combined; pour into flour mixture. Add apples; stir until just blended and no pockets of flour remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with topping.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
