Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium. Add the egg and beat until fluffy, 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing on low until just incorporated. Fold in the apples.

Step 5

Scrape the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50-55 minutes.

Step 6

Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
