Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- For the praline topping:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine rolled oats and buttermilk. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to let the oats soak up the love.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, then gently fold in the oat mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans if you’re using them.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- While the cake cools, prepare the praline topping by boiling the brown sugar and heavy cream in a saucepan. Stir constantly until it thickens and becomes caramel-like. Remove from heat and mix in the chopped pecans.
- Once the cake has cooled, pour that delicious praline topping over the top and let it drizzle down the sides, then slice and serve.
Trust me, this cake is going to bring everyone together at the table. So, grab your ingredients and start baking; you won’t regret it!
