Apple cake comes in many different forms. It originated in Germany, where it’s known as apfelkuchen and often includes cinnamon, almonds, and nutmeg. This recipe is a bit different but it definitely has all the flavor you’d expect from an apple cake. Because it’s made with fresh apple wedges and a homemade caramel, it not only tastes delicious but also looks great too. Perfect for a special event, and a great dessert for this time of year. Even though this apple cake looks fancy, it’s really easy to make. Serve it with a few scoops of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup and you have the perfect dessert for fall.
For a shortcut caramel sauce, cook caramels (a packet of 14oz) with 2/3 cup evaporated milk until the mixture starts to thicken and darken in color.
Nutmeg or ground ginger will also work well with the apples, together with the cinnamon.
If you prefer extra crunch, you can add chopped walnuts or pecans to the caramel and apples, before adding the batter.
