• Preheat oven to 325°.
• Measure and prep all ingredients.
  
• Butter or use cooking spray to grease a 9 x 13 baking pan. Set aside.
• Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg into a mixing bowl.
• Add vegetable oil and both sugars to the electric mixer bowl. Mix on medium speed until combined.
• Add eggs one at a time and beat into mixture. Add vanilla and mix well.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing well between each addition. The batter will be very thick.
• Fold in the diced apples (and nuts if desired) into the batter until evenly mixed.
  
• Spread batter into greased cake pan and bake in preheated 325° oven for 50-60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  

Glaze

• While the cake is baking, prepare glaze.
• Add butter, brown sugar, sugar and heavy cream into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring often until mixture begins to simmer.
  
• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
• Pour the glaze over the cake while it's still warm, spreading it evenly across the cake.
  
• Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving.
• Refrigerate any leftovers, but remember to warm a few seconds in the microwave before serving.
  
• NOTE: This cake freezes beautifully. Cut serving sizes and add to freezer containers (preferably that don't touch the glaze) and add to the freezer, making sure to label and date. Remove from the freezer and add to the refrigerator to thaw OR just microwave for a few seconds to warm before serving.
