- Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Zest the lemon. Add the lemon zest and vanilla extract to butter and sugar mixture. Add one egg and continue to mix; add the other egg and mix.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter until combined. Do not over mix.
- Juice the lemon; stir the juice into the batter. Stir in the apple slices.
