How to Make Apple Delight Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 2 cups peeled and diced apples.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. **For the Topping:** While the cake is baking, in a medium bowl, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup chopped pecans (or walnuts), and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter.
  10. Once the cake is done baking, immediately sprinkle the topping evenly over the warm cake.
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
