Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups apples, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In one bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together olive oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Combine the dry and wet mixtures. Stir gently just until combined. Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze if desired. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
  • Toast the walnuts for extra flavor before folding into the batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
  • Let the cake cool completely before covering to prevent sogginess.
