Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
• 1 cup walnuts (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with the butter and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until no large streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix the batter.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Optionally, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 10

Slice the cake into squares or desired shapes and serve. Enjoy!
