Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Assemble the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Arrange the thinly sliced apples evenly on top of the batter. Sprinkle with chopped almonds if using.
Bake the Cake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
