It's apple season again, and what better way to enjoy them than by making a decadent Chunky Apple Cake? It has a cheerful scent that is warm, fruity, and sweet. Definitely one of the most favorite holidays treats!
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon ground
- 1 tsp nutmeg ground
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 6 cups apples peeled and chopped
BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE:
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup unsalted butter cubed
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Let's Begin!
- Start by creaming the butter with sugar and vanilla extract.
- Wait until it's fluffy and pale in color.
- Gradually add one egg at a time, ensuring it's well combined after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, such as flour, spices, salt, and baking soda.
- Then slowly add to the butter mixture. Cream together until it becomes a little stiff.
- Mix in the chopped apples to the cake batter.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan of 13x9 inches size.
- Bake at 350° F preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is a little golden brown. You can also check if the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Once done, remove the chunky apple cake from the oven and allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes before serving.
BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE:
- Meanwhile, prepare the butterscotch sauce by combining butter and sugar in a small saucepan. Let it simmer over medium heat.
- When the butter is fully melted, gradually add the heavy cream.
- Over medium heat, slowly bring to a boil while stirring continuously.
- Remove the butterscotch sauce from the heat and serve it with your chunky apple cake.
Notes
The butterscotch can be made in advance, and some can be saved for later use. Since it contains dairy, you can store the butterscotch sauce in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for weeks.
