Add the dry ingredients alternately with the water, and beat the batter until smooth, about 30 seconds. Stir in the apples and walnuts.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake the cake 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7
Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then turn the cake out onto a cooling rack and cool completely, removing parchment paper.
8
Move cake to a serving plate, and top with rum sauce (recipe follows).

Combine all the sauce ingredients together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter is melted, sugar is dissolved, and the sauce is smooth.
