Hirsch Apple Cake

"This is an old German American recipe from my grandmother Trese Hirsch. I come from a long line of apple farmers, and this is one of the most delicious variations of apple desserts I've had. I'm frequently caught with a spoonful of the caramel sauce in my mouth when it's around :) The recipe makes a rather enormous cake, but it disappears quickly with a few family members around :)"
