Method
 

Cinnamon Apple Fritter Cake Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add softened unsalted butter to the dry mixture and blend until it resembles fine crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
  6. Peel, core, and dice the apples, then toss them with sugar and cinnamon to coat.
  7. Spread two-thirds of the batter evenly in the prepared pan, layer the apples on top, and dollop the remaining batter over them.
  8. Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon-sugar topping over the batter and bake for 25-28 minutes.
  9. Once baked, let the cake cool slightly, prepare the glaze, then drizzle it on top.
  10. Carefully lift the cake from the pan and slice into squares before serving warm.
