List of Ingredients




1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon McCormick® Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups peeled and chopped apples (Granny Smith or Gala)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins, optional

Vanilla Butter Sauce:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract

Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter and brown sugar for 5 minutes in a mixer bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla just until blended. Set aside.

2. Mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, allspice and salt. Gradually add to sugar mixture; beating until well blended. Stir in apples, nuts, and raisins, if desired.

3. Pour into one greased 9-inch baking pan; bake 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Serve warm with Vanilla Butter Sauce.

Vanilla Butter Sauce: Combine butter and whipping cream with brown sugar. Bring to boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Serve warm. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups)

Do-ahead Suggestion: The cake and sauce can be prepared and refrigerated separately the day before. Warm the cake, in the oven, and the sauce, on top of the stove, before serving.
