This and later it says use the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter well does that mean 3 tablespoons go in the Caramel sauce? Too late for me now cuz I put six tablespoons in the cake. one place you say soften the butter in the ingredient last and in the directions it calls for melted butter. it's just a little confusing.

This is a very nice,moist cake.I love the spices in this cake.In addition to nutmeg and cinnamon I also added 1/2 tsp cloves and 1 tsp vanilla.I only used 3 apples and found that was plenty for me.I reduced the brown sugar to just 1 cup and it was fine.And I didn't make the caramel sauce,the cake itself is good enough without it!

This was a yummy cake! The only modifications I made was that I just used granny smith apples and only 3 since that is what I had on hand. I also doubled the carmel sauce since I served it with vanilla ice cream on the side and put the carmel sauce on both. I used my family as guinea pigs and they gave it rave reviews. I will definately make this again. <br/>Made for Fall PAC 2012.
