Ingredients
  

For the filling

  • 2 large apples peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

For the cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk

For the glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan.
  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook until the apples are soft and caramelized (about 5 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the batter, then cover with the remaining batter.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
