1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 and 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

diced into small pieces
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

Following these instructions exactly will provide the best results.

1. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. This takes about 2 minutes on medium speed. Beat in all of the ingredients (one at a time) except for the apples and walnuts.
2. Stir in the apples and walnuts.
3. Spoon the batter into a greased 8 x 8 square pan. Smooth the batter with a spatula so that the batter is spread evenly through the pan.
4. Bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
5. Cool the cake for about 20 minutes before removing from the pan. Cut into pieces and enjoy with ice cream (optional)!
