Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly grease a shallow 9x12-inch baking pan. Combine the apples and baking soda in a nonmetallic bowl and let stand while proceeding with step 3.
- Cream the sugars, butter, and egg in a mixing bowl. Beat in the flour and spices, then stir in the oatmeal, apples, and nuts. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake begins to shrink from the edges of the pan and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan about 20 minutes, then cut into squares.
- Spoon Alpine Snow over each square. Serve immediately.
