Any sweet, firm variety of apple will work in this recipe, which was developed by John Bunker's friend Amy Traverso. Recipe adapted from " The Apple Lover's Cookbook," by Amy Traverso. Ingredients 1 stick salted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for dish 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon baking soda 1 cup sugar 1 large egg ½ cup chopped walnuts 2 large firm-sweet apples (about 1 pound total), peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch cubes (2 ¾ cups) Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in center position.
