Caramel Apple Cake
Ingredients and Instructions
For the cake:
Cream 3 cubes (1 1/2 c butter) softened butter with
- 1 c white sugar
- 1 c brown sugar
Then add in 3 eggs and whip until fluffyish (*homeschool word)
mix in 1 T vanilla or a little less if you prefer.
In another bowl, combine
- 3 c flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt and stir until combined
Peel, core, and coursely cube 5-8 apples depending on size. You want about 4 cups of cut up apples for the cake. I use a variety, but Granny Smith is always a good baking apple if you want to have a good place to start.
Stir the apples into the batter. It will be very thick batter! Then spoon into a greased and floured 9×13 pan or bundt pan or combo of small pans and medium pans or muffin tins if that is what you prefer;) I typically do the 9×13, but tonight did 6 small bundt pans and one medium sized dish. Bake at 325 for 45 min to 1 hour depending on pan size (9×13 takes longest) Check with a toothpick before removing from the oven to make sure it comes out clean. Once out of the oven, poke holes all around it and drizzle with your homemade caramel glaze! I reserve some of the glaze for the whip cream or ice cream I serve on the side.
Caramel glaze: This is a thinner glaze than you would use for dipping or wrapped caramels, but is killer for ice cream sundaes as well.
Boil:
- 1/2 c (1 cube) butter
- 1/2 c white sugar
- 1/2 c brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 c heavy whipping cream. Stir constantly until it starts to thicken a little then reduce the heat and let simmer for 4-5 minutes.
ENJOY!!!
