Caramel Apple Pudding Cake

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 (9 ounce) box yellow cake mix (i use jiffy, or you can use half a standard-size cake mix)
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice (i substitute 1 part each allspice and nutmeg to 2 parts cinnamon)
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1 1/2 cups hot water
• 3/4 cup brown sugar

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375.
• 2 whisk together cake mix and spices in a mixing bowl.
• 3 blend in milk, making sure that you don't leave any "clumps" of cake mix. fold in chopped apple.
• 4 spread batter in greased 9" square pan.
• 5 stir brown sugar into hot water until dissolved. (i heat the water in the microwave in a glass measuring cup, then pour it and the brown sugar into the mixing bowl that i just scraped the batter out of to save washing another pot or bowl.).
• 6 pour dissolved mixture carefully over batter in pan. do not stir.
• 7 bake 25-30 minutes, until cake is set and starts to pull away from sides of pan. (the cake will be on top of the hot caramel sauce at the bottom of the pan.).
• 8 serve warm, with some of the sauce spooned over each serving. top with cinnamon or vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
