Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Beat until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
