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.
