Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla and orange juice. Pour into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined, then fold in the chopped apples.
4. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. About 30 minutes in, loosely cover with foil to prevent over-browning. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
5. Set the pan on a wire rack and let the cake cool for at least 30 minutes.
6. For the glaze, combine the butter, brown sugar, heavy cream and a small pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the butter melts, then stop stirring and bring to a rapid boil for 1 minute.
7. Lower the heat, stir briefly, and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in the sifted confectioners' sugar. Let it cool and thicken for at least 20 minutes.
8. Spoon the glaze over the cake just before serving. If the glaze has thickened too much, warm it in the microwave for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.
