AMAZING CARAMEL APPLE CAKE

My husband got this recipe from a former co-worker after she brought the apple cake to a food day. I've made a few adjustments to the recipe and my husband says it's even better than the original (maybe he's just being nice?). Either way, every time we've made it our guests LOVE it and almost always have more than one piece. You can serve with whipped topping or ice cream.

Time 40m

Yield 2 cakes, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box super moist yellow cake mix
1 teaspoon apple pie filling
1 pinch ground ginger

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the ingredients for the caramel layer until it resembles coarse crumbs. Divide the mixture up between the two pans pressing to the edges and 1/4 inch up the sides.
  • Divide the pie filling between the two pans, spreading it out up to one inch from the edges.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to packages directions, but add in the apple pie spice and ground ginger. Divide the batter up between the two pans and use a spatula to smooth it out.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes; cake will be golden browned and you might see some of the caramel oozing up the sides of the cakes. Remove pans to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • When cooled, use a hot knife around the edges to make sure the caramel will not stick to the sides of the pan. Carefully flip the cakes onto a serving plate and peel off the parchment paper. Cut into 8 wedges and serve with a scoop of ice cream.

Tips:

  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the caramel sauce.
  • Make the caramel sauce ahead of time: The caramel sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will give it time to thicken and develop its flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
