   • 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.
