>Caramel-Glazed Apple Cake

>
The other day my mum came to me requesting that I make her this cake. She had been flipping through the Costco Magazine and found it and since she can’t have chocolate she loves it when she finds a good dessert with out it. This cake is great, best served right out of the oven and perfect for the holidays coming. I made it again a few days later for my dads birthday because he requested it and usually likes chocolate so that says a lot for the cake.
