German Apple Cake With Caramel Glaze - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
1/2 cup apple juice (or orange juice, etc.)
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups apples, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Caramel Glaze
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup half-and-half or 1/4 cup milk

Preparation

Beat the eggs and sugar; add the oil, juice and vanilla alternately with the flour, baking powder and salt. (If you are mixing by hand, combine the dry ingredients first.)
Pour half the batter into a bundt or tube pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. You can also use a 9x13 inch pan.
Top with half the apple slices. Combine the 3 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon and sprinkle half the mixture over the apples.
Top with remaining batter, apples and cinnamon sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Cool in pan 1 hour, then remove to serving platter.
To make glaze: melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium/low heat. Stir in the sugar and milk and boil 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar crystals are dissolved. Cool several minutes, to drizzling consistency, then spoon over the cake, letting some of the glaze drizzle down the sides.
