Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 180 °C / 360 °F
Prepare a 9X13 inch loaf pan. Line with a double layer of parchment paper.

Add coated apples and walnuts to the flour and carefully fold using a spatula.
Put the batter in the prepared container. Bake at 180 °C / 360 °F for 20 minutes then reduce the temperature to 160 °C / 320 °F and bake for another 30 minutes.
Insert a knife to check if it is done. Remove and let it rest on the counter for 10 minutes.
Using a knife loosen the edges and flip to a wired rack.
Let it cool completely before slicing.

Notes

It is recommended to line the baking pan with 2 layers of parchment paper, to avoid over-browning of the bottom layer.
If the top of the cake is turning brown, cover loosely with aluminium foil.
It is very important to bring the cake completely to room temperature before slicing. When the cake is warm, the apple chunks will be soft and gooey. It is easier to slice the cake at room temperature without any soft gooey patches of apple.
