This cake is perfect for this time of year when anything with apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and cream taste delightful! This cake is best served warm with the cream drizzle over the top. This cake is light and absolutely delicious, you’ll love it for any holiday party.
Ingredients
- Cake:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 2 cups applesauce
- 1/2 cup apples, diced
- 2 cup flour
- CREAM SAUCE:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl and with an electric mixer, cream together the brown sugar and butter until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg to the butter/sugar and whip until smooth. Dice the apples into small pieces. Add the applesauce and diced apples to the batter. Add the flour slowly until the batter is combined.
- Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- For the sauce, add the butter, sugar and whipping cream into a saucepan and heat to medium high heat. Simmer the sauce until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is creamy. Drizzle this glaze over the warm cake from the oven.
