Ingredients for Apple Nut Torte

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • Canola Oil
  • Vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

How to Make Apple Nut Torte

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped apples, walnuts, and cinnamon.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
