I know, the title is atrocious. But it aptly describes this recipe that I randomly decided to try in the fall cuz I had plenty of apples on hand, and as much as I hate peeling, coring and dicing the bugger things, I LOOOOVE the house scented with baking apple-cinnamon-sugary goodness. So, I was craving a half remembered recipe of a delicious apple studded apple cinnamon pudding cake baked in a bundt or angel food cake pan years ago... so when I saw this recipe, I gave this recipe which claimed I could be lazy and have the caramel sauce bake with the pudding cake a whirl... yeah, no, it wasn't what I thought it would turn out to be, but it was still pretty tasty, but if the recipe had named it "Apple cinnamon caramel bread pudding cake with no bread recipe", they'd be on the money. So here's Apple Cinnamon Caramel Pudding Cake v1.01:
First off, this cake was layered, with all the apples on the bottom. Peel, peel, core, core, dice dice... and toss in 1/2 the nuts
Then you mix up everything but the caramel ingredients and plop it semi-neatly on top and top with remaining nuts
Boil the caramel ingredients briefly and dump into the pan (I had reservations about this as it looked like it flash cooked my dough
Then bake until its done and you get a layer of bread pudding like cake on top, and a gooey layer of apple caramely goodness on the bottom. I found the caramel part didn't really stand out, but the bottom was a really tasty apple pie like filling.
Baked in a huge pyrex pan from this set I bought a while ago Pyrex 1093838 Easy Grab 19-Piece Glass Bakeware Set with Blue Lids
mainly as I wanted to be able to see the lovely delicious layers. And yes, watch for Apple Cinnamon Caramel Pudding Cake v2.01... cuz I'm still hankering for what I had baked and tasted years ago.. and I still have a lotta apples to bake!
