Chunky Apple Cake

 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 6 cups chopped peeled tart apples

 

  • BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE:

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

 

Directions:

 

  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well (batter will be stiff). Stir in apples until well combined.
  • Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until top is lightly browned and springs back when lightly touched. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted. Gradually add cream. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Serve with cake.
