Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
  • Whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  • Cream together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the butter and sugar mix, alternating with 1 cup of buttermilk, starting and finishing with the flour mixture. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Fold in 3 cups of peeled and chopped apples with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of rolled oats, and ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts if using.
  • Pour the apple batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the batter.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Using fresh apples and not overmixing are key tips for the best results.
