Apple Cake with a Brown Sugar Caramel Sauce
This time of year of totally get carried away with the pumpkin desserts and I don’t make near enough apple desserts. I’m just a little crazy about pumpkin I guess. But then I go and make apple desserts like this seriously dreamy Old Fashioned Warm Apple Cake and it makes me realize I should be making equal the amount of apple desserts! This cake will totally remind you of a cake your grandma made. I love that it tastes like the apple cake my grandma made. One of these days I’m going to track down her recipes but until then I just have to imitate them.
This cake starts with a buttery spiced batter and itty bitty chunks of juicy, sweet and tart apples are mixed in. Then it’s baked up to perfection and served warm with a sticky, warm caramel brown sugar sauce. Yes indeed, this cake is what fall is all about!
Ingredients You’ll Need for This Recipe
All-purpose flour Baking powder and baking soda Salt Spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves Apples Lemon Granulated sugar and light brown sugar Unsalted butter Eggs Pecans (optional) Milk Vanilla
How to Make Apple Cake
Preheat oven to 350 and grease baking dish. Whisk dry ingredients and spices. Toss apples with lemon. Cream sugars and butter until fluffy. Mix in eggs then blend in flour mixture. Mix in apples. Pour batter into pan and spread even. Bake until set and serve with brown sugar caramel sauce.
Tips for This Recipe
Use a few different types of apples for best flavor, sweet and sour baking apples. This makes a really thick batter so don’t be alarmed when you are mixing it together, the liquid will come from the apples and the juice in them will seep into the cake as it bakes. Make the caramel sauce just before the cake finishes so you can serve them warm together.
Make this cake at least once this fall. It will likely become a yearly autumn must! I think it will be one of my new go-to Sunday desserts. I love old fashioned stuff like this! More Cake Recipes You’ll Love!
