Ingredients
  

2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (whole or almond)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.

    Prepare the Apples: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss to coat the apples evenly. Set aside.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir until well combined.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

            Fold in Apples: Gently fold the prepared apple mixture into the batter until evenly distributed.

              Pour into Baking Dish: Spread the batter in the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding cake is set in the middle and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an added treat.

                    Enjoy: Slice and enjoy your delicious Apple Cinnamon Dream Pudding Cake as a delightful dessert or a comforting snack!
