"The caramel apples of autumn were the inspiration for this cake developed by Mayi Brady. It took a few tries to come up with just the right texture in the moist apple cake. The drizzled caramel sauce works as frosting. It's a perfect homey cake for cool weather." Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #777 by Nancy Berry <nlberry@prodigy.net> on Sep 09, 1997
