Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
• Grate the apples and set them aside.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

• In another bowl, whisk the eggs, half and half, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4: Combine the Mixtures

• Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• Gently fold in the grated apples.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
• Sprinkle chopped nuts and extra oats on top for a crunchy texture.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
• Drizzle with honey or maple syrup before serving.
