Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples and cranberries using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts (if using) to create the crumb topping.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.
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 at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. This cake pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea!
