This moist and flavorful caramel apple cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. The sweet caramel glaze adds a richness that pairs perfectly with the tart apples, creating a well-balanced and irresistible flavor profile.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups diced apples
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the sour cream.
  6. Fold in the diced apples, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, heat the caramel sauce in a small saucepan until warm.
  9. Once the cake is done, poke holes in the top with a fork and drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the cake.
  10. Let the cake cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
