Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Make the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Add the eggs, applesauce, vanilla extract, light brown sugar, and vegetable oil, and whisk until the batter is thick and smooth.
  4. Make the topping: In a medium bowl, use a fork to cut together the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  5. Cut the tops off the apples and use a spoon to hollow out the centers, making sure to remove all seeds. Place the apples in baking pan with tall sides. Brush the rims of the apples with lemon juice.
  6. Fill the apples with cake batter to ¼-inch (6-mm) below their rim. Sprinkle the topping over the batter.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, until the tops are crisp and golden brown and the cake is baked all the way through.
  8. Remove the apples from the oven and serve with ice cream and caramel sauce.
  9. Enjoy!
