🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish.
2. Prepare batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
   • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add dry ingredients to wet mixture alternately with milk, mixing until smooth.
3. Assemble cake:
   • Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly.
   • Arrange apple slices neatly on top (they can be fanned out in a circle).
   • Mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over apples.
4. Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Serve: Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar or serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. 🍨

✨ Tip: In Sweden, this cake is sometimes served with vanilla sauce (vaniljsås) instead of ice cream—creamy, custard-like, and extra comforting.
