2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chopped apples gently until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
