Heat the oven before using.
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before using it. Grease a baking dish that measures 9x13 inches or two loaf pans with butter and flour.
Get the powdered ingredients ready.
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Put aside.
Mix the butter and sugars together.
In a big bowl, mix the soft butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes.
Put the eggs and vanilla in.
Whisk the eggs one by one, making sure each one is well mixed in before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Mix the powdered ingredients and sour cream together.
Slowly mix the dry ingredients with the butter mixture, adding them bit by bit along with the sour cream or Greek yogurt. Begin by mixing the dry ingredients together until they are well combined.
Add apples and walnuts and mix.
Carefully mix in the apples and chopped walnuts (if you are using them) until they are evenly spread in the batter.
Make the Cake:
Put the mixture into the pan(s) and spread it out evenly. Put in the oven that has been heated beforehand for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Chill and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a rack for around 10 minutes before taking it out of the pan to cool down completely.
You can enjoy it warm or at room temperature, and you can add powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top if you like.
