Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with the unsalted butter, ensuring all corners and edges are coated.
In the baking pan, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, using a fork to mix them evenly directly in the pan.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the well.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together with a fork or spatula until a uniform batter forms.
Fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans, evenly distributing them throughout the batter.
Smooth the top of the batter with the spatula to ensure even baking.
Transfer the baking pan to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Cut into squares and enjoy the cake warm or at room temperature.
