Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples and sugar. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the apples to release their natural juices.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the apple mixture and stir until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
