Simple Anytime Apple Cake

🧂 Ingredients

• 12 tablespoons 6 ounces butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 eggs

  room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 and 1/2 cups chopped apples

  about 2 medium apples
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter the sides and bottoms of a 9-inch
  springform pan or use cooking spray with flour.
• 2 In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.
  Set aside.
• 3 With an electric mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together
  until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until mixed, then add
  vanilla and sour cream; combine until just incorporated.
• 4 Stir in the flour mixture just until mixed with no dry flour streaks; then fold
  in the apples.
• 5 Transfer the batter to the springform pan. Smooth with a spatula and sprinkle
  chopped walnuts over the top.
• 6 Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden and springs back when
  lightly pressed. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes or so before
  removing the sides of the pan. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if
  you want. Or simply as is– it's so delicious!
