Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
CAKE:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1½ cups vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1½ teaspoons apple pie spice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 medium apples, peeled and finely chopped
CARAMEL GLAZE:
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk
Instructions
Make the Cake:
- Mix the sugar and oil together in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, apple pie spice, salt and baking soda.
- Fold in the flour.
- Fold in the chopped apples.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until the cake tests done.
Make the Glaze:
- Cook the glaze in a small sauce pan on the stove, just until the butter and sugar melt and the sauce thickens.
- Pour the glaze over individual pieces or over the entire cake while it's still warm.
NOTE: I used Honey Crisp Apples (2 of them) -- I recommend them for this recipe. The apples stayed somewhat firm during the baking; they were definitely cooked through, and I liked that the apples didn't become mushy after baking.
