Description

A delightful treat that combines rich flavors and a moist texture, perfect for fall gatherings and holiday celebrations.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter by melting it in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and nutty.
  2. Mix the brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl, then add the browned butter and combine. Let it cool slightly before adding the eggs.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  4. Fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
