CARAMEL APPLE CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 4h10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/3 cups sugar, plus 1/4 cup for the apples
1 1/2 teaspoons ground apple or pumpkin pie spice blend
4 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped (about 5 cups)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1 orange, zest finely grated and juice squeezed (about 1/3 cup)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup pecans, toasted and roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt

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.

1/4 cup half-and-half cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350°F.

  • Grease a 12-cup bundt pan.
  • In a bowl, sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

  • In another bowl, place the chopped apples and 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture; toss to coat.
  • In another bowl combine 1-1/4 cups brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla; beat with an electric mixture until combined and thick (about 4 minutes).
  • Gradually beat in the remaining flour mixture until combined.
  • Fold in the chopped apple mixture and pecans into the batter.
  • Transfer to prepared bundt pan.
  • Bake for about 1 hour or until the cake tests done.
  • Transfer the cake to a rack then prepare the caramel glaze.
  • To make the glaze: melt butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  • Whisk in 1 cup brown sugar then the half and half or cream.
  • Continue whisking until the glaze is smooth and comes to a boil.
  • Add in 1 teaspoon vanilla, and remove from heat.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the hot glaze over the warm cake that is still in the pan.
  • Let the cake sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the glaze.
  • Turn the cake onto a platter, then pour the remaining glaze over the cake.
  • Let stand until cool (at least 1 hour) before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality baking apple. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples are great choices.
  • Peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender, but still hold their shape.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before cutting it into the flour. This will help create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
