The perfect quick cake when you need a delicious dessert without the fuss. Chuck full of apples and walnuts, this Apple Cake {with Apple Cider Caramel} is super moist and delicious! Serve it on its own or make it even more amazing and drizzle it with Apple Cider Caramel!
Paul and I got a little carried away on our apple picking excursion a few weeks ago. I’m still working my way through the bushel of apples we picked! There have been some awesome treats that came out of that bag though. Like {Waters Farm} Apple Crisp and Caramel Apple Cheesecake {Cupcakes}. I have to say this apple cake came out absolutely amazing! The cake was delicious on its own but the apple cider caramel put it over the top! I heard a muffled “Wow!” come out of my son’s mouth after he took his first bite. Three bites later it was gone!
I had never made apple cider caramel before. I love the spicy tart flavor it adds to the caramel. It was the perfect topping to add to this cake and I’m looking forward to using the leftover caramel on some vanilla ice cream.
