Directions:In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until combined. Beat in sour cream and milk.
In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; stir into butter mixture. Stir in apples and three-quarters of the pecans.

Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool completely.
Caramel Sauce: Meanwhile, in saucepan, cook butter, sugar and lemon juice over medium heat, stirring, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Cook, without stirring, until light amber in colour, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; standing back and averting face, stir in cream. Return to heat; cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Pour into large bowl; let cool to lukewarm.
Pour half of the caramel sauce over top of cake; sprinkle with remaining pecans. Serve cake with remaining caramel sauce. |
