Steps:

  • For the cake: Creaming method. Spray and line with parchment paper, 2 - 8" pans. One, 1/3 (1# 1.2oz) full, the other 2/3rds (2# 2.4oz) full. Bake in 350 degree (F) oven until toothpick comes out clean, around 45 minutes for the 2/3 full pan. Cool the cake layers and cut one into two equal layers. Wrap in plastic wrap separately and place in frige until ready to assemble. For the filling: peel, core and slice the apples (whatever thickness you desire). Place them in a bowl of cold water until ready to use. Combine dry ingredients. Strain the apples and place them in a saute pan with the tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over and saute until the apples are tender. You may add a little water if the filling begins to dry out before the apples are tender. For the glaze: place ingredients in a large sauce pot, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes. Swirl the pan to combine ingredients if necesary. Let sit to thicken for approximately 30 minutes. To assemble: place one cake layer on a cake stand or plate, cover with 1/2 of the filling, place another cake round centered on top and repeat with remaining cake filling. After placing the last cake round centered on top, pour over warm (slightly cooled and thickend) caramel apple cider glaze. Enjoy.
