How To Make sticky toffee pudding cake with apples

• 
  Step 1
  To make the apples, add the butter to a medium saucepan and melt over medium-high heat.
• 
  Step 2
  Add the apples. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt over the apples. Mix to combine.
• 
  Step 3
  Stir about 8 minutes, until the apples are tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• 
  Step 4
  To make the cake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch baking pan and dust with flour or line with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking.
• 
  Step 5
  Add the dates to bowl with the boiling water and baking soda.
• 
  Step 6
  Stir and let sit 20 minutes.
• 
  Step 7
  Transfer the mixture to a food processor, being sure to scrape the bowl clean. Pulse until pureed, about 2 minutes, scraping down between pulses.
• 
  Step 8
  In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• 
  Step 9
  Add the sugars and butter to a stand mixer. Cream together on medium-low speed for 2 minutes.
• 
  Step 10
  Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix again on medium speed to combine.
• 
  Step 11
  Fold in the date puree, mixing on low speed to incorporate.
• 
  Step 12
  Pour in the dry ingredients and beat with the mixer one last time.
• 
  Step 13
  Fold in 2 cups of the apples using a spatula.
• 
  Step 14
  Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake on the middle rack for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
• 
  Step 15
  To make the sauce, add the butter to a heavy bottom pan and melt over medium heat.
• 
  Step 16
  Pour in the sugar then whisk in the cream. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
• 
  Step 17
  Add the vanilla extract and salt. Continue to stir for five minutes until it coats the back of a spatula. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes, continuing to stir.
• 
  Step 18
  Use a fork to poke holes over the entirety of the cake.
• 
  Step 19
  Pour 3/4 cup of the sauce over the cake. Return the cake to the oven and bake another 5 minutes.
• 
  Step 20
  Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Carefully release the cake and cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
• 
  Step 21
  Slice the cake once cooled and serve with remaining apples, sauce, and some vanilla ice cream.
