1/2 cup dark brown sugar

2 large eggs

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9-inch round baking pan with non-stick spray or lightly grease with butter to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Gently fold in chopped apples and walnuts.
03 -
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
04 -
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice the cooled cake into wedges and serve. For a special touch, enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
