Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, 0.5 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 0.5 tsp salt.
Step 3
In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with 0.75 cup milk. Pour into dry ingredients and stir until just combined—batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
Step 4
Peel and core 1 apple, then slice thinly. Fold half the slices into the batter.
Step 5
Pour batter into prepared pan. Arrange remaining apple slices on top and sprinkle with extra brown sugar and cinnamon if desired.
Step 6
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and top is golden brown.
Step 7
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
