Vegetable oil cooking spray
½ tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chopped toasted pecans
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1
Preheat the oven to 350F.
2
Coat a 10-inch angel-food-cake pan with cooking spray; set aside.
3
Make the crumb topping: Stir together 4 tablespoons butter, the dark-brown sugar, oats, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
4
Stir in 1/2 cup pecans; set aside.
5
Make the batter: Sift the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves, and remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 3/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.
6
Put the remaining 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, the granulated sugar, and the light-brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
7
Cream on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.
8
Mix in the eggs, 1 at a time.
9
Reduce speed to low; mix in the applesauce and then the flour mixture.
10
Stir in the remaining cup nuts by hand.
11
Pour the batter into the oiled pan; sprinkle the reserved crumb topping over the batter.
12
Lay the apples on top, tucking some into the batter.
13
Bake until a cake tester inserted near the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
14
Let cool in the pan on a wire rack.
15
Store at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap, up to 3 days.
