Equipment

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 ½ cups oil
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 ½ cups chopped apples about 3 large apples

Caramel Glaze

  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add 1 ½ cups oil, 2 cups sugar, 3 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  • In a separate large bowl, add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, then fold in 3 ½ cups chopped apples.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Poke holes all over the cake using a skewer or toothpick.
  • Make the caramel glaze by combining ½ cup salted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, ¼ cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the cake. Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
