The sauce is out of this world! I made an apple cake from a different website that I found to be rather bland. This sauce saved it and everyone loved the desert. I served with homemade whipped cream. I would put the sauce on many things, a great purpose sauce!

I made this tonight for my mother's birthday. Everyone loved it! I doubled the recipe and baked in a 9x11 baking pan. I didn't have time to make caramel sauce, but used jarred caramel sauce instead.
