How to Make Apple Pie Cake With Rum Butter Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch pie pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. 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.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Stir in ½ cup water and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Gently fold in 4 cups peeled and sliced apples and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  8. 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.
  9. While the cake is baking, prepare the rum butter sauce:
  10. 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.
  11. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  12. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  13. Serve warm apple pie cake slices drizzled generously with the rum butter sauce and a dollop of whipped cream (optional).
