How to Make Apple Butterscotch Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
- Add 2 cups peeled and diced apples to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup butterscotch chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared 13x9 inch pan and spread evenly with a rubber spatula.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
