Apple Cinnamon Cake (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
02 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
05 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
06 - 2 cups all-purpose flour

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 3/4 cup vegetable oil
10 - 1/2 cup white sugar
11 - 1 cup brown sugar

→ Fruit

12 - 2 1/2 cups peeled and cored apples, chopped up

# How to Make It:

01 - Let it hang out in the pan for a good 30 minutes so it sets up. That way, you can slice and share without it falling apart.
02 - Move that batter into your greased pan. Smooth it out a bit. Pop it in the oven and let it bake about half an hour. You want a toothpick to come out clean from the center.
03 - Toss those apple chunks into your batter. Give it a gentle stir so every bite gets some fruit.
04 - Dump the wet stuff into the bowl with your dry mix. Don't go crazy—just stir until it comes together and you can't see dry flour.
05 - In a fresh bowl, mix brown sugar, white sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Once that looks smooth and even, you're set.
06 - Whisk up the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a big bowl. Make sure everything looks mixed and you don't spot lumps.
07 - Fire up that oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9 × 13-inch pan and use some nonstick spray or oil so your treat doesn't stick.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Try Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith apples for a nice mix of tart and sweet—your result will taste way better.
02 - Let this cool completely and stash it overnight if you can. The flavors just get better the next day.
03 - If you want a little crunch, toss in a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans.
