Recipe Note: There are a few different photos of the apple cake. This is because I’ve been making this recipe since 2011 and every time I make one, I snap a picture. The first picture is from the first time I made this cake. It’s a little blurry but, I still love the photo because I made the cake with my daughter Tori when she was still in high school and son Josh when he was a little boy. 
Sometimes it’s cut into squares and other times into rectangles. Any way you slice it, you’ll have a most delicious piece of apple spice cake.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup apple butter (The special ingredient) Make homemade apple butter fresh with my recipe or you can buy a store bought jar of apple butter at most grocery stores and supermarkets.) You can also find on Amazon. Apple butter is so delicious as a dip, spread on sandwiches, and in baked goods like this delicious spice cake.
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or coconut oil (or whatever you have)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour, for gluten free, swap out for a 1 to 1 flour like
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
How is the cake made…
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Have an 8 or 9 inch square non stick baking pan or glass baking dish ready with nonstick cooking spray or baking spray.
- In a small sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Swirl the pan till the butter turns a nutty brown. This takes about a minute or so. Pour this into a large mixing bowl and mix to cool the butter.
- Add the apple butter, brown sugar and whisk together. Add the oil and whisk again until smooth.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until all are well combined. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes, then stir once and pour into the baking pan.
- Bake for about 30-40 minutes. Turn the pan around halfway through the baking time. Cake is ready when a toothpick or wooden skewer comes out clean. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into 12 pieces. Enjoy!
