Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, lightly packed
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Fresh apples, peeled, cored, and diced (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter will be thick.
Fold in the diced apples and, if desired, the chopped walnuts or pecans. Ensure the apples are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar (if desired) before slicing and serving.
