A Taste of Home: Grandma’s Caramel Glazed Apple Nut Cake

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in nuts: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
8. Glaze the cake: Once the cake is cool, drizzle the caramel glaze evenly over the top.
