How to Make Fresh Apple Cake With Sweetened Butter Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced apples and 2 cups of sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the apple mixture and stir gently to combine.
  5. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until light and frothy.
  6. Beat in the oil and vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the apple mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Stir in the chopped pecans (if using).
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool slightly in the pan before serving.
  12. While the cake is baking, prepare the sweet butter sauce:
  13. In a small saucepan, melt the margarine over low heat.
  14. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream (or evaporated milk).
  15. Stir constantly, bringing to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  16. Serve the warm apple cake with a generous drizzle of the warm sweet butter sauce.
