My Mom was click more details a wonderful pie baker but rarely made cakes. she had a fantastic pound cake and she occasionally made this Apple Dapple cake. a favorite of ours for an after school treat. All week, I’ve been working on recipes with apples and so I dug out her old recipe (I could not believe there actually WAS a recipe) and made it better by adding delicious hot caramel. The result was this Caramel Apple Cake which is one of the best cakes I’ve ever made/and or tasted. Try it for your family this weekend. it’s got a great fresh apple flavor and a sweet caramel apple crust. Soooo yummy!

MARTIE’S CARAMEL APPLE CAKE (Apple Dapple Cake w/ Hot Caramel topping)

Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Add apples and pecans. Stir to coat. Mix together oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add to the fruit mixture. Spray a tube pan with Baker’s Joy or grease and flour it. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Remove from the oven and sit on a wire rack to cool. While the cake is still hot, pour over the caramel sauce and then let it cool completely before removing from the pan.1 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup whole milk

3/4 cup butter ( 1 1/2 sticks)

Put all three ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly so it does not burn. Pour the hot caramel directly over the hot cake while it is still in the pan. Be careful! Hot sugar will burn you!!
