Diane's Fresh Apple Cake With Caramel Glaze

Barb Gertz's Note:

Diane wanted the taste of carmel apples so she added the glaze to a recipe that she had made before. This is a great tasting, moist cake. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream. The recipe comes from Diane Nemitz & Hometown recipes. Note: Nut lovers can add 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the cake batter.

This was a simple cake to prepare. I brought it into the office as a breakfast treat and it was gone in minutes. Everyone raved about it. I especially like the fact that is is not heavy. It makes you feel like you are eating a healthy snack!
