- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition.
- Fold in the apples. Spread the batter in the prepared cake pan
- Sprinkle the walnuts evenly on top of the cake batter.

- Drizzle each slice of cake with salted caramel sauce to serve.
