Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups peeled and finely chopped granny smith apples
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup caramel ice cream topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch baking sheet with butter and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until each one is incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined. Fold in the apples.
Spread the batter into the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the pecans.
Sprinkle the pecan mixture over the batter. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, heat the caramel topping in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow to come to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before pouring over the cooled cake.
