| 1 teaspoon | Ground nutmeg |
| 1/4 teaspoon | Salt |
| 1 cup | Unsweetened applesauce |

Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, margarine, sugars, and lemon peel until light and fluffy.
-
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice, nutmeg, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the applesauce, and mix until well combined.
-
Stir in the chopped pecans and apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch bundt pan.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze:
-
In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over low heat, stirring continuously.
-
Once melted, stir in the cream and continue to cook and stir until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
-
Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute, then remove it from the heat.
-
Quickly whisk in the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
-
Immediately pour the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides, then sprinkle with chopped pecans for an extra touch of indulgence.
