Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully before moving to the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing just until combined. Fold in the diced apples gently.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, chopped nuts, and cinnamon to create the crunchy topping.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle the topping evenly over it, and bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature for the best flavor!
