Ingredients:  
Cake:
2 1/3 cups flour
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups peeled, cored, chopped apple

Frosting:
7 tbsp butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup milk
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
3/4 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Grease and flour a 13x9 pan.

To make the cake: Mix all of the ingredients except the apples and nuts in a large bowl. Beat until well combined; the mixture will be very stiff, and may even be crumbly. Add the apples and nuts, and mix until the apples release some of their juice and the stiff mixture becomes a thick batter. Spread the batter in the prepared pan, smoothing it with your wet fingers.

Bake the cake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a rack to cool completely.

To make the frosting: Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and salt, stirring until the sugar melts. Add the milk, bring to a boil, and pour into a mixing bowl to cool for 10 minutes. Then stir in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat well; if the mixture appears too thin, add more sugar. Spread on the cake while the frosting is still warm.
