Old Fashioned Warm Apple Cake
This cake starts with a buttery spiced batter and itty bitty chunks of juicy, sweet and tart apples are mixed in. Then it's baked up to perfection and served warm with a sticky, warm brown sugar sauce (that tastes like caramel!). This cake is what fall is all about!

Let cool about ⏱️ 5 minutes then cut into squares and serve warm topping each slice with sauce and optional pecans.
8
For the sauce: In a medium saucepan combine butter, brown sugar, milk and salt (you can add a little extra if you like more of a salted caramel/toffee flavor).
9
Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow to boil 1 1/⏱️ 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Let sauce cool slightly. Serve warm over warm cake.
