Caramel Pudding Cake

This is an yummy old fashion dessert. I usually prefer chocolate desserts but this one is up there on the scale of yummyness (that is not a real word)

Batter:
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup chopped,peeled apples (Red delicious, Gala...any of those are fine)
2 cups flour
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 tsp baking pwder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
optional: 1 cup raisins and or 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Mix and boil together 4 cups water, 2 cups brown sugar and 4 Tbsp butter. Set aside and prepare batter.

Cream butter and sugar. Add chopped apples. Add dry ingredients and milk. Blend well and add all other ingredients. Spread batter into a greased 13x9x2 inch pan. Pour hot brown sugar and butter mixture over batter. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.

This sometimes boils over and can be messy in oven so be prepared.

Cut in squares and serve cake on plate(make sure you put some of the yummy carmal sauce at the bottom of the pan on top of cake) and top with whipped cream.

You can serve this warm or cold. I like it a little warm so my whipped cream melts on top....delicious and kindof healthy (it has apples in it)!
