Add all ingredients to large mixing bowl. I use a kitchenAid stand mixer. A hand mixer will work as well. Mix on medium until well combined.

Pour base batter into greased 9x13 inch cake pan.

Stick slices of apples into cake batter in rows 1/4 inch apart until entire cake top is covered.

Recipe Notes
I like to use a tart apple for this cake such as Haralson.
If a sweeter apple is used I would cut the sugar in the base cake back to 1/2 cup.
