Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix the batter.

Fold in 2 medium apples that have been peeled, cored, and diced.

Prepare a 20x20cm square pan by lining it with parchment paper.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.

In a bowl, combine 2/3 cup (85g) powdered sugar with about 1 1/2 Tbsp (20ml) milk, adding the milk a bit at a time until it forms a smooth glaze.

Let the glaze sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to dry and set.
