Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This recipe was from my mom and is one she made regularly because everyone loved it.  This cake is the perfect way to welcome fall and literally tastes just like fall (if fall had a taste!)

It also smells just like fall thanks to the cinnamon spiced cake that is full of chunks of apple.  Serve it warm and drizzled with my favorite homemade caramel sauce along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you have heaven.

Does anything else scream fall as much as apples and caramel!!
