Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups peeled, chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  5. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Add the chopped apples and nuts (if using) into the batter and fold until mixed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out.
