Directions:Preheat oven to 325º. Butter and flour an 8 x 13 inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, beat both sugars and oil until very well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and gradually add to the sugar and eggs, mixing just until well-blended. Stir in apples, pecans and vanilla and pour into pan.
Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours (begin to check after 50 minutes), until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan while preparing glaze.
GLAZE:
In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add both sugars and salt. Stir until blended and cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Stir in cream and boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
With a skewer or toothpick, poke holes all over the cake. Pour the glaze over the surface.
