How to Make Apple Walnut Cake With Caramel Glaze
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- 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.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup apple sauce, beating until just combined. Fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before adding the glaze.
- For the caramel glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, ¼ cup heavy cream, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly (about 3 minutes).
- Pour the warm caramel glaze evenly over the cooled cake. Let it set before slicing and serving.
