Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This is easily one of the best cakes I’ve made in a long time, and my family agreed. They couldn’t stop raving about it. They also couldn’t stop eating it!

This cake is wonderfully moist on the inside, with a slightly crunchy outside. It’s pretty much the perfect fall cake, and if you ask me, it tastes an awful lot like a caramel apple.

I mean, how can you go wrong with apples and cinnamon paired with toffee bits and chopped pecans? You really can’t!

And did I mention the homemade caramel glaze? It’s heavenly. Especially with an extra sprinkling of toffee bits for garnish.

I usually like to use Granny Smith Apples for baking, and that’s what I used in this cake. But really, most any variety of apple (or a combination) would work just fine.

And you could certainly use walnuts in place of the pecans. Or, if you don’t care for nuts, you could replace them with additional toffee bits.

But don’t skip the toffee bits! They really add something special to this cake, and give it that caramel apple flavor that I love.

And of course, if you’re in a hurry and don’t have time to make your caramel sauce from scratch, a jarred version will work just fine.
