Ingredients
- 3 cups apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples and granulated sugar. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the apples to release their juices.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 4
To the apple and sugar mixture, add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If using walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
