• Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Prepare apple mixture

• Combine diced apple chunks with cinnamon and sugar and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit while you prepare the batter.
  5-6 apples, 2 tsp cinnamon, 5 tbsp sugar

Prepare the batter

• In one mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt).
  3 cups all purpose flour, 3 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp kosher salt
• In another mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla.
  2 cups sugar, 1 cup melted coconut oil, 4 eggs, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients (add 1/2 the dry mixture, mix, then add the rest). Stir to combine but be careful not to overmix.
• Oil and flour baking pan. If using a springform pan, add a layer of parchment on the bottom for easy serving.

Layer the batter with apples

• Add one third of the batter to the pan, spread evenly. Cover with 1/3 of the apple mixture and arrange evenly throughout the layer. Top with another third of the batter and a third of the apples, then repeat one more time. Add any leftover juice from the apple mixture to the top layer.
• Bake for 80-90 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the pan clean. (Note: Other types of pans will cook faster. Regular 9x13 pans will take approximately 45-55 minutes. Always test with a toothpick first).
• Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 30-45 minutes. Remove from the springform pan (if desired) and allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack. Slice and serve!
