Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Fresh apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 0.75 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced fresh apples and chopped pecans or walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
