Baked Apple Nut Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and stir until just combined (the batter will be very thick).

4. 4

   Fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.

5. 5

   Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

6. 6

   Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
