Apples and butterscotch are two of my favorite things so I had to try this recipe. Amazingly easy to prepare; I was going to make the cake only, but then decided that the sauce sounded too good to pass up. What a wonderful combination! I had to bring some with me this morning for breakfast and I'm so glad I did. Thank you for a spectacular recipe with exceptional "Fall" flavors!
