APPLE DAPPLE CAKE (WITH CARAMEL SAUCE)



Apple Dapple Cake (with caramel sauce) image

The whole family loves this cake along with friends that I have gifted with it. The hot caramel sauce soaks in and makes it wonderful! The longer it sits the more moist it gets so it's good to the last crumb is gone.

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c vegetable oil
2 c sugar
5 eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp cinnamon, ground
3 c self-rising flour
1 c chopped pecans or walnuts
3 c peeled, chopped apples or pears (any type apples work well)
HOT CARAMEL SAUCE:
1 c brown sugar
1 stick butter
1/4 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and chop apples or pears into small pieces and set aside. Chop the nuts and set aside. (I like to use Gala apples or green pears. They both have just enough firmness without being too soft.)
  • 2. Whisk together the oil, eggs and sugar in large mixing bowl. Add the vanilla and cinnamon. Next whisk in the flour a cup at a time until smooth. Batter will get thick.
  • 3. Fold in the chopped apples or pears and nuts with a wooden spoon or spatula. Pour the batter into a heavily greased and floured bundnt or tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour or until tests done.
  • 4. When cake is nearly done, make the caramel sauce. In a small boiler on the stove, melt the stick of butter and stir in brown sugar til smooth then add the milk. Stir with a whisk while cooking to break up any lumps. Bring sauce to a rolling boil and cook for 3 minutes only. Set aside.
  • 5. Remove cake from oven and let stand a minute or two to allow it to pull away from the sides of the pan a little. Pour the hot caramel sauce over the cake while in the pan, around the edges to the outside and middle and then just over the bottom. Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 2 hours or longer. The sauce will absorb into the cake. Turn the cake out onto a plate, slice and serve. Goes great with vanilla ice cream! There won't be much sauce on the top of the cake but you won't miss it I promise!

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!

APPLE CAKE WITH HOT CARAMEL SAUCE



Apple Cake With Hot Caramel Sauce image

This is a delicious apple cake. I have made it for many years. I got this recipe off of a PBS cooking show in the late 1980's. The cake batter will seem very thick and more apple than batter, but do not to worry. It turns out just fine. You can use your favorite cooking apple. I like gala, fuji, golden delicious, just to name a few. The flavor of Carmel sauce goes wonderful with the cake, but it is very rich. I add only a tablespoon or so to my plates. And don't forget to top it with whip cream! This cake will stay good in the refrigerator for a week (if it lasts that long),and freezes well too.

CARAMEL-APPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Caramel-Apple Upside-Down Cake image

The best part about the classic pineapple upside-down cake is its gooey fruit topping, and this fresh take on the beloved dessert is no exception. We replaced canned pineapple with fresh apple slices whose tart flavor is the perfect balance to a sticky-sweet caramel sauce. We don't like to play favorites, but this topping plus a tender vanilla scratch cake equals an easy modern-day treat that may just outdo the original.
