1/2 cup (55 g) chopped walnuts
For the topping
13 -
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
14 -

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
02 -
Peel and finely chop the apples into about 1/4-inch pieces. Set them aside while you mix the batter.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth and slightly glossy.
04 -
Add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a spatula just until combined.
05 -
Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts until evenly distributed. The batter will be thick.
06 -
Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Stir the topping sugar and cinnamon together, sprinkle it over the batter, and bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
07 -
Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then loosen the edges and turn out if desired. Slice after the cake has settled so the crumb stays neat.
# Notes:
01 -
Best served slightly warm or fully cooled.
02 -
Use firm baking apples for the cleanest crumb.
