Cinnamon Apple Cake – Cinnamon and apple have a nice little friendship, don’t they? They lift each other up like only true friends do. And while they’re completely different things when they’re apart, together they’re their own flavor entity: apple-cinnamon. Just speaking that word brings to mind the combo of cozy, warm spice and tender, sweet apples. And that combo (with an added sidekick of chopped walnuts for a bit of crunch) is just the pair to flavor a simple everyday cake like this one.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped

- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the eggs and oil. Add the cinnamon, white and brown sugars, and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Fold in the apples and the nuts and pour batter into prepared pan.
