# Guide to Cooking:
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.
# Extra Suggestions:
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.
