  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts optional

For the Frosting:

  • Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon and slowly mix it into the wet ingredients.
  • With a spatula, fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts.
  • Butter a 9”x13” cake pan and pour the batter in.
  • Place the cake in the middle of the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes.
  • In a medium size saucepan, bring the butter, brown sugar and milk to a rolling boil for a full 2 ½ minutes, carefully stirring it so that it doesn’t burn.

  • Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
  • Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
