Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped apple, peeled
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 1/4 cups vanilla ice cream

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat the egg and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl.
Combine sugar, flour, powder and cinnamon.
Add to egg gradually and beat until smooth.
Fold in apple and nuts.
Spoon into an 8 inch greased pan.
Baked for 25 minutes or until center tests done.
Cool until still slightly warm.
Cut into 9 squares and top each piece with a 1/4 cup of ice cream.

Tips:

For a crunchier topping, use old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking oats.
If you don't have any chopped walnuts, you can use pecans or almonds instead.
Feel free to add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the oat topping for extra flavor.
If you want a sweeter crunch, sprinkle a tablespoon of brown sugar over the oat topping before baking.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
Be sure to grease and flour the baking pan before adding the batter.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before serving.
