This cake starts with a buttery spiced batter and itty bitty chunks of juicy, sweet and tart apples are mixed in. Then it's baked up to perfection and served warm with a sticky, warm brown sugar sauce (that tastes like caramel!). This cake is what fall is all about!

APPLE CAKE WITH HOT CARAMEL SAUCE



Apple Cake With Hot Caramel Sauce image

Provided by Marcia Adams

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup pecans
5 medium apples to yield 2 1/2 cups chopped (use firm cooking apples like Northern Spy or McIntosh)
1/2 cup butter at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 scant teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup evaporated milk
Sweetened whipped cream and fresh unpeeled apple slices

Steps:

  • To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the pecans in the workbowl of a food processor and process until fine. Set aside. Peel, core and quarter the apples and place them in the workbowl of the processor and process until they are in medium-coarse shards, about the size of almonds. Set aside.
  • Place the butter in a large mixer bowl, add the sugar and beat until fluffy. Add the egg and beat until blended. Add the soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and mix quickly. Add the flour and just blend, then the apples and nuts.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch-round cake pan and bake for 30 minutes or until the top springs back when touched with a finger. Cool slightly. Center may sink somewhat.
  • For the caramel sauce, melt the butter, brown sugar and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla and milk. Stir again with the whisk.
  • To serve the sauce with the apple cake, cut the cake into eight wedges. Ladle a large spoonful of the hot sauce onto each of eight dessert plates. Place a wedge of cake on top of the sauce. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and two apple slices.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your cake a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and core the apples before you slice them. This will make it easier to slice the apples evenly and will also prevent the skins from toughening up in the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Serve the cake warm with your favorite toppings. Some good options include vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

This warm apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the apples give it a sweet and tart flavor. The optional caramel sauce is the perfect finishing touch, and it really takes the cake to the next level. Whether you serve it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this cake is sure to be a hit.
