Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons 6 ounces butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/2 cups chopped apples about 2 medium apples
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter the sides and bottoms of a 9-inch springform pan or use cooking spray with flour.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
- With an electric mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until mixed, then add vanilla and sour cream; combine until just incorporated.
- Stir in the flour mixture just until mixed with no dry flour streaks; then fold in the apples.
- Transfer the batter to the springform pan. Smooth with a spatula and sprinkle chopped walnuts over the top.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden and springs back when lightly pressed. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes or so before removing the sides of the pan. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if you want. Or simply as is-- it's so delicious!
