Apple Pudding or Apple Cake

I guess this recipe is classified as a pudding, but it's like cake. I cut some of the butter, I felt too guilty with this recipe, but it's very, very tasty!!!! As advised, you MUST make the sauce -- it makes the cake to die for.

Cream together:

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter

Add:

1 beaten egg

1 cup sifted flour

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. baking powder

Add:

1/4 cup walnuts -- which we don't due to food allergies

2 and 1/2 cups chopped apples

2 TBLSP hot water

1 tsp. vanilla

Bake in lightly greased 8 x 8 cake pan at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes.

Caramel Sauce

1/2 cup butter (1 stick. I couldn't do it. I fished out a significant chunk and my sauce tasted just fine.)

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup whipping cream

1 tsp vanilla

Cook until thick. Serve warm over warm cake or drizzle plate with a "Z" of sauce and put cake on it. Top with more sauce.
