Apple Pie Cake
Print Friendly and PDF

Our tester called this “incredibly easy for something so good.” We loved the combination of apple-pie spices, apples, and pecans in the cake. This superb coffee cake makes a great dessert served warm with ice cream.

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups peeled, cored, and chopped apples
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate.

In a large saucepan, melt butter. Remove from the heat and blend in sugar and egg.

In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves. Add butter mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in vanilla, apples, and pecans. Spread into prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a tester inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Super yummy cake! Shared the cake with friends and it was a hit! I used salted butter and gala apples and followed the recipe as written.

Does it matter if one uses salted or unsalted butter in the recipe? If I use salted butter, do I delete the half teaspoon of salt that is mentioned in the directions? Thx.

Hi, Carol. You can use either salted or unsalted butter. You do not have to omit the salt if you use salted butter. If it was a higher amount of salt we woud recommend that, but not here. Enjoy!
