  • Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, stirring until well combined.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually until just combined.
  • Incorporate diced apples and any optional nuts or dried fruit, folding gently.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
