Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 tbsp for sprinkling
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8″x8″ baking pan.
    • In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the beaten egg to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Mix the Batter:

    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, stirring until well combined.
    • Stir in vanilla extract, chopped pecans, and diced apples by hand. The batter may seem dry at first, but it will moisten as you mix.
  4. Bake the Cake:

    • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
    • Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the top of the batter.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Serve:

    • Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes.
    • Serve warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
  6. Storage:

    • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Notes

  • This cake is perfect for serving warm after dinner or packing into lunchboxes for a sweet midday treat.
  • The combination of spices and apples makes it a comforting choice during cooler months.
  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness by reducing the sugar slightly if desired, or add a touch more cinnamon for extra spice.

Enjoy your homemade Nobby Apple Cake, crafted with love and perfect for any occasion where a delicious, fruity dessert is welcomed!
