Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and eggs together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chopped walnuts and sliced apples.
4
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. In a small bowl, mix together the oats and cinnamon. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
5
Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
