Apple Caramel Crunch Cake

 

On Monday evening I baked a German chocolate cake for my dads birthday. I don’t eat chocolate so I wanted to make something that I could also enjoy. I went to DC last weekend to visit my sis and nephew and picked up some delicious and sweet honey crisp apples at the local farmers market. Theses yummy apples were the inspiration for this cake.

I made mini cakes but this can also be prepared in a bunt or loaf pan.

Enjoy your weekend!
