Apple Walnut Cake with Caramel Glaze
"My Mom's recipe for Apple Walnut Cake with Caramel Glaze is the perfect easy fall dessert! Loaded with fresh apples, the moist, gooey cake reminds me of sticky toffee pudding. And that caramel glaze on top of the Apple Walnut Cake? Heaven. When it’s combined with the toasted walnuts it’s like those “wet nuts” that you can get on ice cream sundaes. I hope that you'll give this special treat a try this season while the apples are still ripe!"
NotesWant to Prep Ahead? This cake can be baked in advance and then just glazed the day of serving. You can bake it a day or two ahead of time and leave it covered at room temp before glazing; OR you can freeze it before glazing and thaw on the counter before adding the glaze.
Cooking for a Smaller Family? Divide the ingredients in half and prepare just one cake in an 8-inch square pan; OR bake two 8-inch square cakes with the full recipe and freeze one of the cakes (before glazing) for a later date.

I love apple cakes, and this looks even better than the recipes I usually use. The caramel glaze really adds to the overall taste, and I can easily see serving this with some vanilla ice cream to make a perfect dessert. I love the overload of nuts and caramel and I can't wait to give this a try later in the fall. I'm always on the lookout for new apple recipes and this is a great one.
