Category: Cakes

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cups shredded peeled tart apples (about 2 large)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

CARAMEL SAUCE:
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tbsp flour
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup water
1 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Combine egg and apples; add to flour mixture and mix well. Stir in walnuts.

Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

For sauce, in a small nonstick saucepan, combine the brown sugar, flour and salt. Gradually add water; stir until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Serve with warm apple dessert.
