Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on high speed to beat the sugar and egg whites together until soft peaks form, which will create a light and airy base for your cake.

Once soft peaks have formed, reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually blend in the diced apples, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until just combined.

Slowly fold in the flour mixture with a spatula, being careful not to overmix; fold until there are no dry flour pockets.

Gently scrape the batter into the prepared tube pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
