Raw Apple Cake

Beautiful fall weather, a bare apple tree and what do you have? Plenty of apples to make cakes, pies and sauces with! I finally got around to making an apple cake the other day and shared it with my co-workers. Who can eat an entire apple cake, anyway? It was very good. Gave some to my mom and dad too. Love the carmel sauce that goes with it. Naturally there are only four ingredients to the carmel sauce and that's why it's so darn good! Butter, white sugar, brown sugar and cream. Yup, real cream! Boil for three minutes and you have the most yummy smelling kitchen and tastiest carmel sauce (after it cools off) that you can imagine. Great on the apple cake but don't limit yourself to just that. Try it on apple pie. (I did) Try it with sliced apples. (I tried that too) And I bet it'll be fabulous on ice cream. (I restrained myself this time) I love my mixer, by the way. It was Christmas present to myself last year. For you blog readers who know my husband you know that he never gives me presents. Ever - for any occasion - so every once in a while I get selfish and buy myself something. I did some research on the Kitchenaid mixer and bought the bigger one - Professional 600 Series. When I read the specs on them, I was sold by the cups of flour and pounds of potatoes it would handle. I've done a double (small) batch of monster cookies in it - 9 cups of oatmeal - and it handles it like a champ. I can't remember how many pounds of potatoes I did last holiday season but I'm sure it was a lot. Love it!
