Ingredients
402 Grams/3 Apples - not peeled, diced into small pieces
3 Eggs
280 Grams All Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
½ Cup (125 Ml Cup) Vegetable Oil
2 Teaspoons Cinnamon - I added Homemade Pumpkin Spice

1/8 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
Method
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease and line a 8x8 square baking pan or spring form pan with parchment paper.

Add the pumpkin spice, half the sugar together in a bowl.
As you are dicing the apples, toss them in the bowl with the pumpkin spice and sugar to coat them and prevent browning. The add the flour and baking soda to the apples and toss.

In another bowl cream the oil, eggs, remaining sugar and vanilla extract till light and creamy.

Pour this into the apple mixture and fold it well with a spatula till no dry spots are seen.

Now add the walnuts and lightly mix it.

Pour this batter into the prepared baking tin. Tap it once or twice on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

Bake in a preheat oven for 25 minutes after that place a foil on top ( to avoid more browning) and bake it for additional 5 - 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean in the center. Let the cake cool in the pan completely.

Then dust it icing sugar on top. Slice and enjoy the cake is so delicious you will love it.
