How to Make Warm Caramel Apple Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a 1-quart heavy saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the caramel mixture into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans over the caramel.
- Arrange 4-5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced, on top of the pecans.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 cup water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon apple pie spice. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Carefully pour the cake batter over the apple mixture in the pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Run a knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
- Place a heatproof serving platter upside down on top of the pan.
- Carefully invert the pan and platter to release the cake onto the platter.
- Let the pan rest on the cake for about 1 minute to allow the caramel to drizzle down.
- Remove the pan.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 container (16 oz) prepared vanilla frosting with 1 cup whipped topping. Spread over the warm cake.
- Serve warm and enjoy the delicious caramel and apple flavors!
