APPLE CAKE WITH CARAMEL TOPPING
Meet the Cook: A wonderful harvest of apples that we picked up at a local orchard one year inspired me to adjust a recipe I'd seen and come up with this moist cake. After we were married, I learned through trial and error (at times, lots of those!) to cook for my husband. Today, he and I have two grown children. -Paulette Reyenga, Brantford, Ontario

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 1/3 cup of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of the pie spice together in a large bowl.
- Toss the apples with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon pie spice and set aside. Whisk the eggs and oil together in another bowl.
- Whisk in the sour cream, orange zest and juice, and vanilla. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until combined but still a bit lumpy.
- Using a slotted spoon, scatter about 1/2 cup of the apples in the bottom of the bundt pan. Put about a third of the batter on top. Repeat, alternating with the remaining apples and batter, ending with the batter.
- Bake the cake until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and invert the cake onto a rack placed over a baking sheet. Cool. (The cake can be prepared to this point a day ahead.)
- To make the caramel: Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, swirling the pan but not stirring, until the sugar is dark amber-colored caramel, about 15 minutes. Pull pan from the heat and carefully pour in the cream (take care it will splatter). Stir in the pecans, vanilla, and salt. Cool until caramel becomes thick and syrupy, then evenly pour over the cake and cool until set.

MOM'S BEST APPLE CAKE WITH CARAMEL FROSTING
Looking for a way to use up an abundance of apples, I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest and traced it to bunnysoven.com. She gives credit to Examiner.Com, from Anne Marie Hurley, Livonia, Michigan. I took the liberty of tweeking this just a little. What makes this cake killer is the caramel frosting you make and pour over the cake. Make the cake let it cool , make the caramel sauce and pour the hot caramel sauce over the cake. Uh huh, gooey delicious caramel over a moist apple filled cake. It's easy, fast to make and incredibly delicious. This is a keeper!

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Apples: Opt for firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp that hold their shape well during baking.
- Preparing the Apples: Peel and slice the apples evenly to ensure uniform cooking. You can use a mandoline slicer for precise and consistent slices.
- Creating a Moist Cake Batter: Use a combination of melted butter and vegetable oil for a moist and tender cake. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy before adding the eggs one at a time.
- Incorporating the Apples: Toss the sliced apples with a mixture of flour, cinnamon, and sugar before folding them into the cake batter. This prevents the apples from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
- Baking the Cake: Bake the cake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on the size of the pan and the type of oven.
- Making the Caramel Topping: Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. Stir the sugar and water constantly until the mixture turns a deep amber color. Remove from heat and carefully stir in the butter, cream, and vanilla extract.
- Assembling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely before pouring the caramel topping over it. You can also drizzle the caramel topping on individual slices before serving.
