Ingredients

  • 1 cup oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree not pie filling
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 3 granny smith apples peeled and cubed (about 3 cups)
  • 2 11 ounce bags of chewy caramel candies (I like Kraft)
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 3 - 4 cups whipped cream depending on your preference

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 15- x 10-inch rectangular baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugar, juice, eggs, and vanilla. Add in pumpkin and stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix until well combined. Fold in apples.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool for ten minutes.
  • In the meantime, place the caramels and water in a saucepan and heat on medium low until completely melted. Set aside.
  • Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly in the cake.
  • Pour ¾ of the caramel onto the cake, making sure the holes get filled.
  • Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to cool completely.
  • When the cake is completely cool, frost the cake with whipped cream and drizzle with the rest of the caramel sauce. Serve and enjoy!
