3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped apples (about 2 large apples)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

To make this Harvest Apple Cake with Caramel Icing, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Beat in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture, beating until combined. Fold in the apples.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, apple cider, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle the mixture over the batter. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, corn syrup, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and syrupy. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.

Spread the caramel icing over the cooled cake and let set for 10 minutes. Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
