My grandmother occasionally brought over this wonderful cake warm from the oven. The spicy apple flavor combined with the sweet cream cheese frosting made this recipe one that we treasured. Even though I've lightened it up, it's still a family favorite. -Lauris Conrad, Turlock, California

GRAND FINALE APPLE CAKE

My sister-in-law gave me this recipe a couple of years ago and I hate to admit that I just got around to making it a few weeks ago. It was even better the next day. She did not add any topping, but I spread some Caramel Ice Cream Topping while it was still warm. Why not try serving a little warm homemade Caramel Sauce on top that I posted here and let me know what you think.
