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!

With all ingredients on hand, it's in the oven now.

Sharing, I used Jona Gold apples and gluten free flour. The Apple pie cake was delicious!

Followed the directions and ended up with a mushy cake. It smelled great, but even though I left it in the oven for extra time it just would not cook in the middle. What kind of apples would work best. I used Macintosh

Hi, Jill. If you go to our apple chart, you will see which apples to use depending on what you are making—pie, applesauce, etc.

This sounds like the recipe my Mom used to make. She called it " Fresh Apple Cake ". She cooked it in a Bundt or tube pan and it would develop a tasty crust on top. You could drizzle a topping on it, or not. It was delicious right out of the pan.

There are tons apple varieties. What kind of apple is used in this recipe. It's an important detail that is left out of the information.
