AMISH APPLE CAKE WITH HOT CARAMEL SAUCE

Amish Apple Cake With Hot Caramel Sauce image

This is one of our favorite cake recipes, originally published in Cooking from Quilt Country by Marcia Adams. I modified the caramel sauce a bit and increased the amount of the sauce since it is so wonderful! The cake keeps well and can be reheated briefly in the microwave. Extra caramel sauce is divine over ice cream!

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 cup pecans, chopped finely
2 1/2 cups cooking apples, chopped medium coarse (such as Granny Smith or Northern Sprys)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 cup flour
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream the butter.
Add the sugar and beat until fluffy.
Add egg and beat until blended, then mix in the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add the flour and stir just until blended.
Stir in the apples and nuts.
Pour into an oiled 9 inch round cake pan (I use a glass pie plate) and bake for 30 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly in the center.
Prepare sauce.
In a saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, and salt.
Bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk, then remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla and the cream.
(The sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated over hot water.) Serve the cake warm with the hot caramel sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.
The cake gets better as it ages, keeps for a week in the refrigerator, and also freezes well.
It can be reheated in the microwave.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients measured and prepped. This will help ensure that your cake comes out perfect.
Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. If possible, use organic apples and fresh lemon juice.
Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the Cake in a Preheated Oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Don't Open the Oven Door During Baking: Opening the oven door can cause the cake to fall. Wait until the cake is done baking before you open the door.
Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
