1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 by 8-inch baking dish.

2

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.

3

Toss apple cubes with lemon juice in a separate bowl.

4

Using an electric stand mixer, whip together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs one at a time. Add the flour mixture slowly until combined. Add apples and mix until just combined.

5

Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 33 - 38 minutes.

6

Combine butter, brown sugar, milk, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil for 1 1/2 minutes. Let the sauce cool slightly.

7

Cut the cake into squares, serve warm, and top each slice with the warm sauce. Optionally, add pecans.
