This is so, so good!  Apples and caramel: match made in heaven! It's also super easy to make. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

For cake:

-2 cups sugar

-1 cup vegetable oil

-3 large eggs

-1 Tbs vanilla extract

-1 tsp baking soda

-1 tsp salt

-1 tsp cinnamon

-3 cups flour

-3 apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped

For caramel syrup

-2 Tbs butter

-1/2 cup packed brown sugar

-1/4 cup heavy cream

-2 tsp vanilla extract

-a pinch of salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 F. Generously coat the bottom and sides of a bundt cake pan with baking spray (the one with flour and butter in it). Set aside.

Cream the sugar, oil, and eggs. Add the vanilla, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Once well mixed, add the flour, half of cup at a time. Stir in chopped apples.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for one hour or until the toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let it cool in pan for 20 minutes.

While the cake is cooling, let's quickly make the caramel syrup. Combine the butter, sugar, and cream in small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the stove and stir in the vanilla and salt. Give it a good stir and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Invert the cake onto the serving plate. Drizzle with the caramel syrup. Let it cool completely, slice and enjoy! YUM!
