Why we love this Apple Cinnamon Cake
This cake is an amalgamation of everything good.It's the best thing that can happen to you on a rainy day.This cake slightly warm and a cup of coffee is all I ask for!
As if apple and cinnamon was not enough the caramel sauce is just so comforting that it's a food version of a cosy blanket.If you are wary of making caramel don't be.This is the easiest caramel in the history of caramels.I have used brown sugar to make the sauce which makes it ever so easy to get the perfect wintery brown caramel.

A-Yes
4.Does the cake taste better when aged for a couple days before putting
