Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cream butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes.
½ cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar
Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each egg.
2 eggs
Stir in vanilla.
1 teaspoon vanilla
Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Mix just until combined.
1¼ cups flour, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt
Fold in grated apples and chopped walnuts.
1½ cups shredded apples, ½ cups chopped walnuts
Place batter in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 35-40 minutes or until baked through.
Allow cake to cool in the pan.
Top with powdered sugar and serve.
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

- Some apples will darken right away. That's okay. The cake is dark from the brown sugar and the apples won't be noticed.
- Test cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. If many moist crumbs stick to the toothpick, the cake needs a few more minutes. If just a few crumbs are on toothpick, the cake is baked through.

- Once the cake has fully cooled, cover and store at room temperature for 2-3 days.
