To make sour milk: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup. Add enough milk to reach the 1-cup line. Let stand for 5 minutes before using. For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil. Feel free to add a handful of raisins or other dried fruit to the batter along with the apples. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the walnut topping: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix well and set aside. (5 minutes)
03
StepMake the apple cake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. (5 minutes)
04
StepCreate a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the sour milk, vegetable oil, and beaten eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat until the batter is smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)
05
StepGently fold in the chopped apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. (3 minutes)
