Number Of Ingredients 26

CAKE:
1 1/3 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk
Shortening
APPLES:
2 pounds McIntosh apples (about 6 apples, 6 to 7 ounces each)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch table salt
2 tablespoons butter
APPLE BRANDY SAUCE:
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
Pinch table salt
1 tablespoon apple brandy
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat first 2 ingredients at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition; stir in vanilla. Whisk together flour and next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat just until blended after each addition. Spread batter in a greased (with shortening) and floured 9- x 2-inch round cake pan. Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, shielding with aluminum foil after 35 to 40 minutes to prevent excessive browning, if necessary. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely (about 1 hour). Meanwhile, prepare Apples. Cut apples into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Toss together apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and next 3 ingredients. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add apple mixture, and sauté 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender and golden. Cool completely (about 30 minutes). Arrange sautéed apples over cooled cake, and drizzle with desired amount of warm Apple Brandy-Caramel Sauce; serve with remaining sauce. Apple Brandy Sauce: Bring brown sugar, butter, cream, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir apple brandy. Whisk in powdered sugar; cool 15 minutes before serving.
