Ingredients

2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
0.5 cup unsalted butter (Melted and slightly cooled; for the cake)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract (For the cake batter)
4 cup fresh apples (Peeled and diced into small, evenly sized pieces)
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (Optional)
0.5 cup unsalted butter (For the brown sugar sauce)
1 cup brown sugar (For the brown sugar sauce)
0.25 cup whole milk (For the brown sugar sauce)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (Stir into the sauce after removing it from the heat)

Steps

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, eggs, melted slightly cooled butter, and vanilla until smooth.
4
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. The batter will be thick; avoid overmixing once the flour is added.
5
Fold the diced apples into the batter. Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
6
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
7
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
8
During the final few minutes of baking, combine the sauce butter, brown sugar, and whole milk in a small saucepan over medium heat.
9
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
10
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the remaining vanilla extract.
11
As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, pour the warm brown sugar sauce evenly over the hot cake.
12
Let the cake rest for 15–20 minutes so the sauce can soak in before slicing and serving.

Notes

Cut the apples into small, evenly sized pieces so they soften properly and remain distributed throughout the cake. Avoid overmixing after adding the flour. The nuts are optional; the source does not specify a particular apple variety or storage instructions.
