Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 0.5 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine the batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the apple cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
