• Make sure to grate the apples just before adding them to the batter to prevent browning.
• To make the caramel sauce extra decadent, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt.

• Leftover cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave for a few seconds.
