How To Make sticky toffee pudding cake with apples

1
To make the apples, add the butter to a medium saucepan and melt over medium-high heat.

2
Add the apples. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt over the apples. Mix to combine.
3
Stir about 8 minutes, until the apples are tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
4
To make the cake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch baking pan and dust with flour or line with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking.
5
Add the dates to bowl with the boiling water and baking soda.
6
Stir and let sit 20 minutes.
7
Transfer the mixture to a food processor, being sure to scrape the bowl clean. Pulse until pureed, about 2 minutes, scraping down between pulses.
8
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
9
Add the sugars and butter to a stand mixer. Cream together on medium-low speed for 2 minutes.
10
Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix again on medium speed to combine.
11
Fold in the date puree, mixing on low speed to incorporate.
12
Pour in the dry ingredients and beat with the mixer one last time.
13
Fold in 2 cups of the apples using a spatula.
14
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake on the middle rack for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
15
To make the sauce, add the butter to a heavy bottom pan and melt over medium heat.
16
Pour in the sugar then whisk in the cream. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
17
Add the vanilla extract and salt. Continue to stir for five minutes until it coats the back of a spatula. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes, continuing to stir.
18
Use a fork to poke holes over the entirety of the cake.
19
Pour 3/4 cup of the sauce over the cake. Return the cake to the oven and bake another 5 minutes.
20
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Carefully release the cake and cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
21
Slice the cake once cooled and serve with remaining apples, sauce, and some vanilla ice cream.
