Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups peeled, cored, and chopped apples (mix of sweet and tart preferred)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.

- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in chopped apples and nuts (if using) evenly.
- Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool cake in pan for 10–15 minutes before inverting onto wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for extra sweetness.
