Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9"round cake pan at least 2" deep (use a 8x8" sq. pan if your cake pan is too shallow). Line bottom with parchment paper and grease the parchment.
Slice the top including the stem, off one of the apples and set it aside before peeling and slicing the rest of the apples into 1/4" thick wedges. Place the apple, stem side down, in the middle of the pan, and overlap the rest of the apple wedges in a ring around it.
Prepare the topping by heating butter, sugar, boiled cider, cinnamon, and corn syrup over low heat till sugar is dissolved. Pour 1/2 C of the syrup over the apples in the pan.
Beat the oil, brown sugar, boiled cider, eggs, spices, and salt together for 2 minutes. Mix flour with baking soda and add to the mixture. Stir in the chopped apple and nuts, and mix till just blended.
Drop scoops of the batter atop the apples in the pan, gently spreading to cover. Bake 50-55 minutes or till tester comes out clean. Remove from oven and run a thin spatula around edges to loosen. Let cool 5 minutes and turn out onto serving plate. Scrape out any sauce that remains and spread over cake. Reheat the reserved topping. If butter separates, add 1 t of water at time and stir until the butter rejoins rest of sauce.
Pour over cake and serve warm or room temperature.
