APPLE SPICE CAKE WITH SEA SALT CARAMEL GLAZE
Apples and caramel are a classic combination that reminds us of fall. The cake itself is moist and tender with chunks of apple in each bite. There's a hint of cinnamon that makes the kitchen smell like fall. It's the perfect cake for the thick, buttery, and sweet salted caramel glaze. A beautiful fall dessert.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch bundt pan.
- 2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- 3. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- 4. Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Stir the batter just until blended.
- 5. Fold in the peeled, cored and chopped apples (and 1 cup walnuts if desired) using a spoon.
- 6. Pour into the prepared pan.
- 7. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the crown of the cake comes out clean.
- 8. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
- 9. Then invert onto a wire rack or large plate.
- 10. Make the glaze by heating the butter, half and half, sea salt, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- 11. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat.
- 12. Drizzle over the warm cake. The key to this is making sure that the cake has cooled to warm and the caramel glaze is cooled to desired consistency. If you put this glaze on while the cake and glaze are too hot, the glaze will absorb and disappear into the cake. It will still be good but not as pretty. Enjoy!
