Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and applesauce.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

For extra flavor, you can add a drizzle of caramel sauce over the cooled cake.
This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Ensure your apples are finely diced so they cook through in the cake.
