It’s that time of year again when apples are everywhere! Apples are definitely my favorite fruit to bake with…maybe because apple season is in the fall and I am a huge fall enthusiast with the cozy clothes and cinnamon smells… With all the apples that we are about to have on hand in the coming months I partnered with KitchenAid in the #KitchenAidContest (more on that in a minute). I decided to take a classic-ish type recipe and give it a fun update. Apple Cake certainly isn’t a new invention. BUT topping it with ridiculous brown sugar icing and a whole boat-load of crunchy Praline topping…well, suddenly things get interesting. Adding the sweet, buttery, crunchy Praline topping seriously is the best. I might have doubled the batch and snacked on it for a few days by itself. The cake itself is loaded with apples, and I mean loaded, which makes it a super soft cake packed with cinnamon flavor. I poured a sweet, caramely brown sugar frosting on top and then topped that with the Praline Crunch. It’s a WOW dessert for sure! Now to the Apple Challenge…
