Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 ounces)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the chopped apples, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and chopped walnuts (if using) to the batter. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with an additional 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving.
