Hey all! I'm very excited to share this recipe with you. This is by far my favorite dessert for Fall! This is a recipe that my Grandma used to make, and I still think of her every time I make it. It seriously tastes like Fall on a plate, it's basically an apple spice cake, with a delicious caramel sauce. So I guess you could say that it is like a caramel apple cake. It is perfect for a Fall day.
Cake Ingredients:
Add the sugar into the butter, creaming well.
Add the eggs, beat well
Peel, core, and grate the apples
Add apple immediately after grating into the creamed mixture

Add the dry ingredients, and nuts if wanted
Bake in a greased 9x13 pan for 45 minutes at 350 degrees
Sauce Ingredients:
Melt the butter
Add the sugar and cream
Cook at medium heat until it is all dissolved, then add vanilla and nutmeg
Done! The sauce comes together very quickly, I usually start it with about 10 minutes left on the cake.
Serve warm with the sauce on top!
Cake Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup softened butter

2 tsp cinnamon
