This cake was served in the school cafeteria at one of the county schools where I grew up in Southern Indiana. It is very tasty. I put it in the family cookbook I made years ago.
Cake:
2 cups peeled, diced apples
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup chopped nuts
dash of salt
Sauce:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tbsp flour
1/4 cup butter
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
To make cake: mix sugar and apples together and allow to stand until sugar dissolves. Add the egg. Add dry ingredients and nuts. Pour into a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.
To prepare topping: Mix all ingredients together and bring to a boil. Pour over the hot cake.
Note: This cake is especially good when served warm.
