Robyn's Apple Pudding Cake

This was in the RS newsletter years ago and I made it for a family get together once and everyone loved it! My step-father asks for it all the time- it's a real winner!

Cake:
1 c sugar
1/2 c butter
1 egg
2 unpeeled, grated apples

1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c chopped nuts (optional)

Cream butter and sugar together, add egg. Mix in remaining ingredients and pour into 9 x 9 pan. Bake at 350 for 30-40 min.

Sauce:
1/2 c butter
1 c. sugar
1/2 c evaporated milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
dash nutmeg

Heat all ingredients in a small pot until butter is melted. Spoon over individual cake slices and top with whipped cream.

(This sauce makes a fantastic syrup for pancakes and french toast as well. Shelese, this is the one we had at your shower).
