Butterscotch Sauce

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- pinch of salt
Instructions
Cake
- To begin, preheat the oven to 350°F, and don't forget to oil a 10" Springform Pan, setting it aside for later.
- Finely chop the apples and then set them aside.
- Mix sugar and oil in a large bowl or with a stand mixer using a paddle attachment.
- Add the eggs individually, making sure to fully combine each one before adding the next.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Begin by gently folding the dry ingredients into the oil mixture, then seamlessly stir in the apples, nuts, and vanilla.
- Grease a 10-inch springform pan, pour the mixture, and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Butterscotch Glaze
- In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream for a perfect blend.
- Start by bringing it to a boil on high heat, and then cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring continuously.
- Once you've taken the cake out of the oven while it's still hot, simply use a fork or toothpick to make some holes, and then drizzle the glaze over it. Let it cool down completely before taking off the springform ring.
- Enhance your experience by serving it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
