  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  5. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold until just combined.
  6. Reserve a few apple pieces; fold the rest into the batter gently.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and top with reserved apple chunks.
  8. Bake for 45–55 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool for 15–20 minutes before removing the ring. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
