How to Make Amazing Caramel Apple Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Peel and chop 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Gently fold the apples into the batter.
7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. While the cake is baking, prepare the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ⅓ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup packed brown sugar, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, and ½ cup heavy cream.
10. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
11. Once the cake is baked, immediately pour the warm caramel sauce evenly over the top.
12. Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with whipped cream or ice cream!
