Apple Walnut Cake

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 50 min. + cooling YIELD: 20 servings.
This moist apple walnut cake is perfect for brunch. It gets its appeal from big chunks of sweet apples, nutty flavor and creamy frosting. The recipe, originally my mom's, is a unique harvest treat.

  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 cups chopped unpeeled apples
