For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter for the caramel sauce before adding the other ingredients. To prevent the apples from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter. Store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. This recipe can easily be doubled to make two loaves – perfect for sharing!

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. This ensures the cake releases easily. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the granulated sugar, applesauce, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until light and well combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly fluffy. (3 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and spices. (2 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cake. Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts. (5 minutes)
05
Step
50 mins
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (45-55 minutes)
06
Step
10 mins
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, and corn syrup. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 1 minute, or until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. (5 minutes)
08
StepOnce the cake is completely cool, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top. Slice and serve. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
