How to Make Fresh Apple Cake With Caramel Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Peel, core, and slice the apples. Gently fold the apples into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before adding the caramel glaze.
  9. For the caramel glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, cream, and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
  10. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before drizzling over the cooled cake.
