1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

3. Gently fold in 4 cups peeled and diced apples (about 4 medium apples). Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional – substitute with 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries).
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
