- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl: combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix well, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in grated apples and walnuts if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan.
