This is the third and final recipe from the dessert table at Mummies Night Out.
One of my favorite fall combinations – apple and caramel.
I love it, oh, so many ways. Here is one of my favorites.
I just discovered a new favorite way to enjoy apples and caramel together – Apple Caramel Bundt Cake.
This recipe came from my good friend Deb back in Minnesota. She promised me I would love it and as always, she was right!
It was part of the dessert buffet at my Mummies Night Out fundraiser and got lots of rave reviews. I thought it looked darling with my Halloween cake bunting I made for the party.
The cake is full of goodness – apples and pecans but the best part is the entire thing is bathed in caramel sauce!
I made the cake in the morning because of time restraints and it was delicious but I think it would be amazing to eat it smothered in the caramel sauce warm out of the oven. Heaven!
I have issues with getting cakes out of cake pans all in one piece. The bath of caramel helps to hide a multitude of sins! Or at least no one is boing to care that it doesn’t look perfect after they taste it!

Thanks for sharing Leigh Anne. This recipe is a keeper!
Oh my goodness! This looks so good. I was looking for something to take to my work for a wedding shower. Thanks For sharing.
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe. For today I had some ripe bananas, so I just made your Best Banana Bread recipe. I guess I’m on a HBM roll, because on Sunday I’m making the Oreo Cookie Cupcakes for my daughters soccer party. Thanks for all the great recipes.
I made this and it was absolutely delicious 🙂
So glad you liked it. Thanks for letting me know.
I am going to make this tonight but it’s to eat tomorrow, first do you think it needs to be refrigerated? 2nd should I wait until tomorrow to pore Carmel on?
Thanks this looks fabulous!!
Do you think if I bake this cake the night before all but the final like 7 to 10 minutes and then put it back in the oven the next day for the final few minutes to finish baking and that way it will be hot so that I could pour the caramel sauce over it with that be a good idea? Thanks 🙂
Samantha, I have never done that. I might be more apt to cook it all the way through and then warm it the next day.
Thank you
