• 200 g all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 120 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 125 ml milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200 g granulated sugar
• Icing sugar, to top

For the Apple layer

• 1 Cosmic Crisp®, peeled, cored and sliced
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 100 g brown sugar
• 60 g unsalted butter, melted

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. 
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, olive oil, sugars, milk and vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. 
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Pour into the bottom of a 20 cm cake tin lined with baking parchment. 
5. Gently pour the batter on top of the apples. If using a springform pan, place on a baking sheet to avoid leaking the syrupy bottom into the oven.
6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
8. Dust with icing sugar if desired, then slice and serve!
