Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 cups tart apples (I used 5 medium Pink Lady apples), peeled, cored and chopped
  • Salted caramel sauce (store bought or homemade), optional
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a standard 9"x13" baking pan and set aside.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl if using a handheld mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well after the last egg. Turn the mixer to low and gently add in the dry ingredients until everything just comes together. Turn off the mixer.
  5. Fold the apples in by hand. The batter will be super thick and seem difficult to mix.
  6. Transfer the batter to your prepared baking pan and bake in your preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. If desired, top with salted caramel sauce or frosting of your choice.
  7. Allow the cake to cool before serving. Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for several days.
