Caramel Apple Cake

Warm,squishy apple on top, cake on the bottom and caramel all over.  I cannot  tell you how comforting my past two days have been indulging in this melt in the mouth dessert.

If you are looking for old fashioned fall themed dessert then this is it, the caramel is sooo yummy it actually crisps the edges of the cake and the apple is almost like a jelly, trust me people are going to thank you.
