BUTTERSCOTCH APPLE CAKE

By ldelmas

Ingredients

• 1-1/4 c. all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 c. white sugar
• (I used half Splenda)
• 1/2 c. vegetable oil
• (I use half applesauce)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 c. peeled, chopped apple
• 1/2 c. pecans, chopped
• 1/2 c. butterscotch chips, divided

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8" square baking dish. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon. Blend sugar, oil and eggs until smooth; stir wet mixture into dry and mix just until combined. Stir in the apples, pecans and 1/4 cup butterscotch chips.

Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining butterscotch chips. Bake 40 - 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Yield: 4 - 6 good-sized servings
(Of course, if you bake them in muffin tins, the baking time will be shortened. I baked mine about 25 minutes...that's using Splenda, that bakes faster.)
