Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ cups chopped apples (peeled, approximately 2 medium apples)
  • ¼ cup softened butter
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch round baking pan with non-stick spray or butter for easy release.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the butter-sugar blend on low speed until just combined.
  4. Add Apples and Walnuts: Gently fold in chopped apples and walnuts, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve with ice cream or caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Use sweet apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Gala for better flavor.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed container at room temperature for up to three days.
