# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Don't dig in just yet! Let everything sit in the pan for half an hour before you try to cut it up and serve.
02 -
Scrape the batter into your greased pan and spread it out. Pop it in the oven for about 30 minutes—stick a toothpick in and make sure it comes out clean.
03 -
Add the apple pieces to your mixture, making sure they're spread out all through the batter.
04 -
Dump the wet stuff into the dry bowl. Give it a quick stir. Stop once it barely comes together—don’t bother mixing it too much.
05 -
In another bowl, mix the eggs, both sugars, vanilla, and oil. Whisk until it’s silky smooth.
06 -
Stir flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a big bowl until you can’t tell them apart.
07 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray or rub a 9 × 13 pan with oil so nothing sticks.

You can toss in chopped walnuts or pecans if you want some crunch.
