Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch cake pan.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda & salt.

In a large bowl beat together the oil, sugars, eggs & vanilla extract until no lumps remain. Then beat in the sour cream.

With the mixer on low speed, beat the flour mixture into the wet ingredients about 1/2 at a time. Turn down the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Carefully fold in the chopped apple using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 28-34 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
