Nutty Apple Spice Cake With Quick Butterscotch Sauce

• Cake:
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 cups diced Granny Smith apple (about 3/4 pound)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted
• Cooking spray
• Sauce:
• 1/3 cup golden raisins
• 1/4 cup dark rum or apple juice
• 1 (12.25-ounce) bottle fat-free butterscotch topping (such as Smucker's)

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
2. To prepare cake, beat sugar, oil, and eggs at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (flour through nutmeg) in a small bowl. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture, beating just until blended. Fold in apple and walnuts.
3. Pour batter into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350u0b0 for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Run a knife around outside edge; cool.
4. To prepare sauce, combine raisins and rum in a microwave-safe bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in butterscotch topping; microwave on high 45 seconds or until hot. Serve cake with sauce.
5. Note: Cake will keep for several days in an airtight container, but the crunchy top will soften.
