Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 4 cups apples peeled and chopped into ½-inch chunks
Glaze:
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat in the vanilla and the eggs one at a time.
- Add the dry mixture a little at a time, mixing well between each addition. Note: the batter will be very thick.
- Using a sturdy wooden spoon, fold the apples into the batter.
- Spread into the prepared 9x13-inch pan and bake at 325F for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, make the glaze. Add all the ingredients to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture begins to simmer. Remove from the and cool for 5 minutes.
- Pour the glaze over the cake while it’s still warm.
- Slice the cake and serve.
Notes
- I used a combination of apples for this recipe, but Granny Smith is always a safe bet. Any firm, tart apple that is good for baking will work well.
- If desired, 1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts can be added to the batter along with the chopped apples.
- The cake can be kept in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to five days or frozen for up to three months.
