Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 | Eggs |
| 1 1/2 | cups sugar |
| 2 | cups all-purpose flour |
| 3 | teaspoons salt |
| 1 | teaspoon baking soda |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 2 | cups chopped apples |
| 3 | cups chopped pecans |
| 1 1/2 | cups brown sugar |
| 1 | cup milk |
| 1/4 | cup margarine |
| 1/2 | cup butter |
Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and oil. Mix until well blended.
-
Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda to the egg mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are incorporated.
-
Fold in the vanilla extract, chopped apples, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 8-9″ tube pan with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Pour the prepared batter into the greased tube pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the topping. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, milk, margarine, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for an additional 2 1/2 minutes, then remove from heat.
-
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan.
-
While the cake is still warm, pour the prepared topping over the top, allowing it to soak into the cake.
-
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving dish.
-
Serve the Apple Dapple Cake slices with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
-
Store any leftovers covered at room temperature to maintain freshness.
