Butterscotch Apple Cake

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup oil
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups diced peeled apple
2 cups butterscotch chips

Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 13x9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla for 2-3 minutes or until well combined and doubled in volume. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in apple until combined.

Spread cake batter into prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle with butterscotch chips. Bake 45-50 minutes or until well risen, golden brown, and cake pulls away from edges of dish. Cool on a wire rack.

Makes 15 servings

    Looks delicious! I love apples(: I love the butterscotch chips in the cake. I'm probably making a pudding pie for thanksgiving, a pumpkin cheesecake, and something else. Maybe another pie. I'm not sure yet(:

    That apple cake looks fantastic, and that deep dish caramel apple pie has been on my "to make" list for a while now! Amazing desserts, as always! I think I may be making a maple pecan pumpkin cheesecake to try to spice things up a little from the norm. Hopefully it goes over well!

    I love butterscotch so I'll have to try this recipe sometime. We aren't doing pie this year, b/c we always end up with so many leftovers and most people are too full from dinner. My gramma used to make like 4 pies and they'd hardly get eaten! This year I am doing my pumpkin cream pies and a pear gingersnap cheesecake instead. Saving the pies for Christmas!

    Oh my gosh...my mouth is watering!!!!! Thank you so much for posting all of the Thanksgiving dessert ideas. I am in charge of desserts too...of course. YAY! Usually I have my menu developed way in advance...but I have had a horrific migraine going on 5 days....(having an MRI tomorrow and praying for some relief) so I am behind in my baking and of course having baking withdrawals!!!! All of your recipes look amazing....thinking of trying the vanilla maple pumpkin pie and deep dish caramel apple pie!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!:)

    I thought after two apple cakes that I had kicked the apple cake craving. Now I think I need to make another apple cake!

    I'm thinking of making sweet potato cupcakes this year, to mix it up. :) Perhaps w/ brown sugar, pecans and coconut, since that's how we make sweet potato casserole in our family instead of w/ marshmallows! Our other tradition is corn pudding. It's fascinating what different foods each family makes.

    I have this baking in the oven right now. Thank you! However did you really use 2 full cups of butterscotch chips? I had about a cup and half and couldn't even fit them all on top without it being too much in my opinion. I cut back but it still looks like mine has more than yours does in your pictures.

    why yes, i could use a slice...

    i think i'm bringing an apple crisp, or maybe i'll have a go at a apple/pear/cranberry number :)

    Thanks everyone!

    Yours Truly, I did cut back a bit on the chips. It seemed like too much to me. I just wanted to post the original recipe. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for making it. :)

    Thank you for these recipes...my husband wants apple pie for Thanksgiving so I think I'm going to try the caramel one or the crumb topped one rather than the usual one I make. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family (and to the other readers too)!

    Ooh, you revamped your blog layout! Looking good, Emily.

    I made your pecan pie last year and everyone loved it, so I may do it again. My crusts are lacking, though =( But the roundup is the pecan, a Dutch apple pie, and a pumpkin pie. You have a great selection of pies in this post!

    My husband's family is pretty hardcore about cooking for Thanksgiving so all I have to do is eat. I was even going to skip making dessert but did a test run of a Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie today that is outstanding! I will definitely be making it again for Thanksgiving.

    I love reading your blog. By chance what kind of apples did you use. (Granny Smith), I hope so. That is what I bought. Thank you.

    Nice pie list!
    We hosted 60 family members for T-day. I think we had over 25 pies, cookies, cheesecake. My favorite part of T-day food is also sweet potatoes. I think I could just live on them alone.

    Hey Sugar Plum!

    So, I baked your butterscotch apple cake this weekend! Can I just say, mmmm. The butterscotch addition was excellent and made it special. Have you ever tried it with butter instead of oil?

    I posted a pic on my blog to show it off :) http://whatcafrindid.blogspot.com/2011/12/sunday-funday.html

    Thanks, can't wait for my next baking weekend to try more.
