This is by far, my very most favorite dessert for Fall! It is a recipe that my Grandma Adams used to make, and I think of her everytime I make it. It seriously tastes like fall on a plate, it's basically an apple spice cake, with an amazing caramel sauce. So I guess you could say it is like a caramel apple cake. It is perfect for a Fall day.
Cake Ingredients:
-2 cups sugar-1/2 cup softened butter
-2 eggs
-4+ cups grated apples (medium fine) -- it takes about 2 small or 1 medium sized apple per cup
-2 cups flour
-2 tsp baking soda
-2 tsp cinnamon
-1 tsp nutmeg
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
DON'T FORGET THE SAUCE INGREDIENTS TOO!
Gradually add the sugar into the butter, creaming it well
Peel, core, and grate the apples
Add the eggs into the batter
then the apples
Add the dry ingredients
Bake in a grease 13x9 inch pan for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.(or 30 minutes for a half recipe in an 8x8 inch pan)
Sauce Ingredients:
-1/2 cup butter
-2 cups sugar (I use one cup of white and one cup of brown)
-1 cup cream
-3 tsp vanilla
-dash of nutmeg
Melt the butter
Add the sugar, and cream
Cook at medium heat until dissolved, then add vanilla and nutmeg
Done! This sauce goes together very quickly, I usually start it with about 10 minutes left on the cake.
Serve warm with the sauce on top.
Enjoy!
