Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-inch spring form pan, bundt pan or angel food cake pan. Set aside. If using a spring form pan, you can also line the inside with a parchment paper circle and grease that.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, apple pie spice and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl mix the diced apples with the lemon juice. Toss the apples with a tablespoon or so of the flour mixture and set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and orange zest and continue mixing until smooth. Finally, add in the milk, orange liqueur and vanilla extract until all combined.
Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the apples and with a spatula, fold them in until incorporated.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven.
Set pan on a wire rack and allow cake to cool completely. Once cooled, sprinkle the cake with confectioners’ sugar and cut into wedges.
