Instructions
Cake
Preheat oven to 350 F, grease one 9x13 pan or 3 small loaf pans (approx. 9x5).
Combine all cake ingredients, except the walnuts and apple pieces, in a stand mixer and beat on medium low speed until well mixed.
Fold in your walnuts and apples, gently mixing until combined.
Pour into your prepared pan(s), be sure to divide evenly if using multiple.
Topping
Top cake with your sliced apples before adding streusel.
In a small bowl combine all topping ingredients, mix with a fork until butter coats the flour and begins to form small pea size crumbles.
Sprinkle over the top of your cake and gently press into apple slices. Sprinkle walnuts over top if desired.
Bake cake for 30-40 minutes (this will vary based off of your pans and oven so PLEASE set a timer and check for toothpick to come out clean after 30 mins)
Once cooled drizzle the cake with your caramel sauce!
Notes
The caramel sauce used was a homemade one (recipe can be found below).
