Knobby Apple Cake

By susanwadle

From Susan Wadle - A wonderful apple cake that you can serve hot or at room temperature with or without whipped cream or ice cream. I first found this recipe about 40 years ago in the Boston Globe Confidential Chat pages.

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter or margarine
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3 cups apples (I used Rome), peeled & cubed 1/2"
• 1 t vanilla
• 1/2 t baking soda
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/2 t cinnamon
• 1/2 t ground nutmeg (if you don't have nutmeg on hand, just double the cinnamon)
• 1/2 cup nuts (optional), chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten egg, apples, nuts, vanilla and sifted dry ingredients.

Bake in an 8" square pan at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
