- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- Apple Variety: Choose firm and flavorful apples like Granny Smith or Fuji for best results.
- Consistency: Ensure the batter is well-mixed but avoid over-mixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cake towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
- Cooling Period: Allow the cake to cool in the pan before transferring to a rack to prevent crumbling.
- Storage: Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
