Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp salt
8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large granny smith apples (about 2 lb.), peeled, cored and chopped
6 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup confectioners' sugar , sifted
1 tsp lemon zest
1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger

Directions:

Make cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Mist a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Spread nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet; bake until lightly toasted, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring halfway through. In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture. Fold in apples and walnuts. (Batter will be very thick.) Spread batter in pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Place on a wire rack and let cake cool completely.
Make frosting: In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese and butter. Beat in lemon juice. Reduce speed to low, then add confectioners' sugar gradually. Fold in zest. Spread frosting on cake; sprinkle with ginger.
