Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
2 apples
320g
1 cup sugar
200g
1.25 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
160g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp allspice
5g
1 cup pecans
120g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. Prepare the Apples:
- Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. Set aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer for about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
4. Add the Egg:
- Beat in the egg until fully incorporated into the butter and sugar mixture.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and allspice.
6. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
7. Fold in Apples and Pecans:
- Gently fold in the chopped apples and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Transfer to Baking Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
9. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips:

- For extra moisture, you can grate the apples instead of chopping them. This will ensure a more even distribution throughout the cake.

- Toast the pecans before adding them to the batter to enhance their natural flavor.

- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before mixing it with sugar for a smooth and fluffy texture.

- Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.

- If you want to add an extra layer of flavor, consider sprinkling the cake with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Congratulations! You've just prepared a delicious Apple and Pecan Cake. Enjoy each slice with a warm beverage of your choice, or serve it as a delightful dessert after a meal. This cake is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection, blending the flavors of fall with the satisfying crunch of pecans.
