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:
- Prep your apples properly: Peel, core, and slice your apples thinly and evenly for optimal baking results.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Spread the apples evenly in a single layer to ensure even cooking and prevent sogginess.
- Use a quality cinnamon: Opt for Ceylon cinnamon for its superior flavor and aroma.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This indicates that the cake is done baking.
- Let the cake cool completely before adding the icing: This will help the icing set properly and prevent it from melting.
