I wish I could tell you where I got this recipe, but I jotted it down awhile ago and now don’t know whom to give credit to! It’s delicious though and your kitchen and your tummy will thank you! SOOO GOOD!
1-1/2 cups canola oil
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
3-1/2 cups diced peeled apples
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tsp vanilla extract
CARAMEL ICING:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 cup butter, cubed
Dash salt
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Chopped walnuts, optional
In a large bowl, combine the oil, sugars and eggs until well blended. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture until blended. Fold in the apples, walnuts and vanilla.
Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 1-1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, cook and stir the brown sugar, cream, butter and salt until sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a small bowl; cool to room temperature. Beat in confectioners’ sugar until smooth; drizzle over cake. Sprinkle with nuts if desired. Yield: 12-16 servings.
