AMISH APPLE CAKE WITH HOT CARAMEL SAUCE
This is one of our favorite cake recipes, originally published in Cooking from Quilt Country by Marcia Adams. I modified the caramel sauce a bit and increased the amount of the sauce since it is so wonderful! The cake keeps well and can be reheated briefly in the microwave. Extra caramel sauce is divine over ice cream!

APPLE CAKE WITH HOT CARAMEL SAUCE
This is a delicious apple cake. I have made it for many years. I got this recipe off of a PBS cooking show in the late 1980's. The cake batter will seem very thick and more apple than batter, but do not to worry. It turns out just fine. You can use your favorite cooking apple. I like gala, fuji, golden delicious, just to name a few. The flavor of Carmel sauce goes wonderful with the cake, but it is very rich. I add only a tablespoon or so to my plates. And don't forget to top it with whip cream! This cake will stay good in the refrigerator for a week (if it lasts that long),and freezes well too.

HOT APPLE CAKE WITH CARAMEL PECAN SAUCE
I love anything with apples. If I were on a desert island and I had to choose 1 desert it would be apple pie. This recipe ain't apple pie and I have many favorite apple deserts, but it's a close second to apple pie. The caramel sauce is out of this world good. It's up to your taste if you want to add the pecans or not to the sauce. I like it both ways.

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
