How to Make Kim's Inspiration Apple Sour Cream Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan.
Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine and mix with 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce.
In a large bowl, beat the applesauce mixture with 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (or substitute with a sugar alternative like Splenda, adjust to taste).
Add 4 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat well until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup Splenda (or granulated sugar), 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in 2 cups chopped apples (about 2 medium apples).
Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
(Optional Topping): In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1/4 cup rolled oats.
(Optional Topping): Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before serving.
