Caramel Apple Cake

The weather has become COLD in my world...A sure sign that fall and holiday baking will be in full swing soon.  I absolutely love this time of year.  With the coolness in the air, I decided to go full speed ahead and bake up some of my favorites this week.  This recipe is great as a dessert option with company.  It looks very pretty on a platter or cake stand.  It also is a wonderful recipe for an afterschool snack option.  It has the great taste of caramel apples in a cake.
