Directions:Heat oven to 350º. Grease a 9x13" baking pan. In medium-size bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In large bowl, with electric mixer on medium speed, beat eggs until thick- about 4 minutes. Gradually add granulated sugar, oil, and vanilla, beating until blended. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add flour mixture, scraping sides of bowl occasionally, until ingredients are combined. With wooden spoon, stir in apples and walnuts. Spread batter evenly in greased pan.
Bake 55-60 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Meanwhile, prepare Caramel Sauce.
Cool cake in pan 10 minutes. Invert cake onto wire rack, remove pan,, and cool cake completely. To serve, invert cake onto serving tray; sift powdered sugar over top and cut into 12 pieces. Place each piece on individual plate, spoon some of the Caramel Sauce over top and garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
To Make Caramel Sauce:
In heavy 2 quart saucepan, heat 2 c sugar, 1/2 c water, and 1/4 c light corn syrup to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook until mixture becomes dark golden brown- about 15 minutes. Carefully add 1 c heavy cream (mixture will suddenly bubble up) and cook, stirring 1 minutes longer. Remove from heat and set aside until cooled and thickened enough to pour- about 1 hour. |
