Back story - early on in our relationship he took a fishing trip with the guys; Shelly, the cook at the lodge, made this one night and he took it upon himself to go back to the kitchen and ask her for the recipe for me. I didn't know him well enough at the time to know this is something he'd never done before, and he certainly hasn't done it since - this cake is that good :) So I have her hand-written recipe on a piece of notebook paper in my file, and Dave drew a little picture of himself on it with a big-ole belly indicating it's what he'd look like after eating this hahaha. I feel bad that I don't know what lodge he was at, or Shelley's last name, to give her credit - and she deserves it!
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 can apple pie filling
Cream sugar, butter and eggs. Add pie filling then remaining
ingredients. Mix thru. Bake 350' for 40 minutes.
Note the recipe doesn't say what size pan - I make it in a 13x9 sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, cut it into squares to serve, spoon the sauce over top. The cake is about an inch tall, you could probably make it in a smaller pan and have it be thicker but it's so good the way it turns out in the 13x9 I've never wanted to experiment with other sizes!
Sauce:
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
pinch salt
2 Tablespoons vanilla
Heat in a saucepan, serve hot.
