  • 1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 Apple (peeled, Cored And Sliced Thin)

Method

  • For the toasted pecans:
  • (Note: You'll need 1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans. I toasted some extra to make sure that I had a full 1 1/2 cups for the recipe).
  • 1. Preheat oven to 200 F.
  • 2. Lay pecans out on a cookie sheet.
  • 3. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • 4. Remove them from the oven, let them cool then chop them up.
  • For the applesauce:
  • 1. Put the chopped up apples in a large pot.
  • 2. Add cinnamon stick, cinnamon, ground ginger, water, sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • 3. Once at a boil, reduce temperature to medium low.
  • 4. Cook for about 20 minutes until all the apples are tender and mushy. Remove from heat and set aside. You can mash the apples down more if you like, but I prefer to leave yummy apple chunks.
  • For the crumb topping:
  • 1. Stir together butter, dark brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and salt until crumbly.
  • 2. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chopped toasted pecans. Set aside.
  • For the cake:
  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • 2. Coat a 10-inch angel food cake pan with butter or cooking spray; set aside.
  • 3. Sift flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves, ground ginger, cinnamon and salt into a medium sized bowl; set aside.
  • 5. Put butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar in a bowl and mix until smooth. Mix in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in 2 heaping cups of the applesauce and then mix in the flour mixture. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of chopped toasted pecans.
  • 6. Pour batter into the oiled pan and then sprinkle reserved crumb topping over the top of the batter. Lay the apple slices on top, tucking some into the batter.
  • 7. Bake until a cake tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack.
