Ingredients
1 cup cup sugar
1/2 cup cup shortening
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon teaspoon salt
2 cups cups diced apples
1/2 cup cup chopped walnuts
1 cup cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cup milk
1/4 cup cup margarine
Method
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by greasing it.
In a large bowl, beat together sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Then, mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully blended.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Carefully fold in the chopped apples and walnuts until evenly mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes.
For the topping, heat brown sugar, milk, and margarine in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the margarine melts.
Once the cake is done, take it out of the oven and place it on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Drizzle the warm topping evenly over the cake.
Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before cutting and serving.
