Preparation

Step 1

CAKE:

Cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs one at time. Add grated apples. Sift together flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add in half of flour mixture stir in until incorporated, add second half and still until just mixed. Stir in the flour by hand to avoid over-mixing.

Pour into a greased 9 x 13" baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 40 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Less time for convection oven.

SAUCE:

Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Combine sugar and cornstarch, blend well. Add sugar and cornstarch mixture to boiling water; reduce heat to medium, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and add the butter, vanilla, and salt, stirring until butter is melted.
