Caramel Apple Sheet Cake
Hello and Happy Thursday! Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers! What are you all cooking up for dinner today?
I decided last night I'd make a mini thanksgiving dinner today too, for fun. Which is kind of weird because on Saturday I'm making an early Christmas dinner also, so we can celebrate with my sister before we're on vacation for the month of December. Bring on the turkey dinners!
Also, I started my daily workouts again a few days ago and I am so sore today. A pretty good feeling though. And I feel like it means I can reward myself with some Caramel Apple Sheet Cake for dessert!
I love apple desserts. Apple pie is my second favorite pie, after blueberry. I think this stems from picking ice cream buckets of blueberries at the lake as a kid. Still LOVE blueberry pie. And then apple. This recipe kind of reminds me of a candied apple also. 
This sheet cake has apple grated into the batter and a Salted Caramel Sauce poured right on top. I garnished with a bit of Fleur de Sel also, because I have it and like it. So good. Hope you try it and love it. It's a big cake also, so make it for a group!
