How to Make Apple Pie Cake With Rum Butter Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch pie pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in ½ cup water and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in 4 cups peeled and sliced apples and ½ cup chopped pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared pie pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the rum butter sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon dark rum.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Serve warm apple pie cake slices drizzled generously with the rum butter sauce and a dollop of whipped cream (optional).
