FAQ
Q: Can I use store-bought caramel instead of making the apples?
A: You can, but homemade caramelized apples give the cake a deeper, fresher flavor and texture.
Q: Can I make this cake ahead?
A: Yes! Bake the cake and prepare the frosting up to 2 days in advance. Store them separately and frost before serving.
Q: Can I freeze the cake?
A: The unfrosted cake can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw completely, then frost before serving.
