Apple Spice Snack Cake

Roadside farm stands are a great place to find bargains when buying apples in bulk. Since these apples are the freshest, they tend to last longer. Avoid those that have bruises or punctures.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1 cup sugar

1 egg

2 cup apples

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup pecans or walnuts

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1/2 cup whipping cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan. Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add apples; mix well.

2. Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Add to apple mixture; mix well. Fold in pecans.

3. Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Bake for 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cut into squares.

4. While cake is baking, prepare caramel sauce. Combine sugar, brown sugar, butter and whipping cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Boil, stirring continually, for 2 minutes. Serve sauce over cake.
