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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter will be thick.

Step 6

Fold in the diced apples and, if desired, the chopped walnuts or pecans. Ensure the apples are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar (if desired) before slicing and serving.
