Ingredients

For the cake

4 cups apples of your choice peeled and sliced into 1/2" cubes
2 cups sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans optional

For the vanilla cream sauce

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

To make the cake

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the diced apples and sugar. Add in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and stir well.
In a small bowl mix the eggs, oil and vanilla and add to the apples. Stir to combine. Batter will be thick.
Stir in pecans if you are using them.
Transfer to the 9x13 pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean--about 50 minutes. While the cake bakes, make the sauce.

For the vanilla cream sauce

Place the sugar, butter, cream and vanilla in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and simmer 3 minutes, stirring often. Pour over warm cake when it comes out of the oven.
Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.
