APPLE CAKE WITH CARAMEL GLAZE RECIPES

Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
• Grease a 12-cup bundt pan.
• In a bowl, sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture into the Bundt pan and tilt pan to coat.
• In another bowl, place the chopped apples and 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture; toss to coat.
• In another bowl combine 1-1/4 cups brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla; beat with an electric mixture until combined and thick (about 4 minutes).
• Gradually beat in the remaining flour mixture until combined.
• Fold in the chopped apple mixture and pecans into the batter.
• Transfer to prepared bundt pan.
• Bake for about 1 hour or until the cake tests done.
• Transfer the cake to a rack then prepare the caramel glaze.
• To make the glaze: melt butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan.
• Whisk in 1 cup brown sugar then the half and half or cream.
• Continue whisking until the glaze is smooth and comes to a boil.
• Add in 1 teaspoon vanilla, and remove from heat.
• Spoon about 1/4 cup of the hot glaze over the warm cake that is still in the pan.
• Let the cake sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the glaze.
• Turn the cake onto a platter, then pour the remaining glaze over the cake.
• Let stand until cool (at least 1 hour) before slicing.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, add eggs, water, milk, oil and mix everything until smooth.
• Add cake mix powder and mix until just combined. There might be some lumps but don't worry about them and don't over-mix!
• Pour about 3/4 of the batter batter in a greased and floured rectangle cake pan (Dimension: 9x13). 
• In another mixing bowl, add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and mix until apples are fully coated. 
• Spread these apples on top of the cake batter.
• Pour the remaining cake batter on top. It won't fully cover the apples and that's perfectly fine. 
• In another bowl, make the topping by mixing together together the flour, coconut, brown sugar, butter with a fork until you have a crumbly mixture.
• Sprinkle this topping over the apples and cake batter. 
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
• Let it cool down completely.
• While the cake is cooling prepare the sugar glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract until it's smooth and perfect for drizzling. If you want the drizzle thinner, add more milk. If you want it thicker, add more powdered sugar. 
• Drizzle the glaze on top of the cake and enjoy.
