4. Combine and fold in apples
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix. Then fold in the chopped apples (and nuts, if using).
5. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping if desired.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan before slicing.
