How to Make Apple Cake With Caramel Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped apples and vanilla extract.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- **Make the Salted Caramel Sauce:** In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Do not stir. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color.
- Carefully pour in the heavy cream (it will bubble up!). Whisk constantly until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and sea salt until melted and combined.
- Pour the warm caramel sauce over the cooled cake and serve immediately or let it set for a richer caramel flavor.
