Ingredients

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

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 for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure evenly distributed dry ingredients.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs to the center, and stir until just combined and no dry spots remain.

Step 4

Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula if necessary.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
