Doesn't this picture just look sinful? This cake was entered into our local county fair's apple cake contest. I entered this but did not place. I have to admit I was a little disappointed but that is OK. This cake is a winner for sure. There was a lot of competition and let's face it, we live in a small town. Just the smell of this cake baking screams fall. The caramel glaze just sends this over the top.
There is just something about a pound cake. Looks so heavenly in the pan.
I snapped quite a few shots at the fair of our daughter. She was super excited all day and could not wait to go. I will tell you just the smile on her face and the giggles were so worth it. I am sure her jaws are sore from smiling so much, I know mine are just by watching her. Love you sweet girl!

The carmel glaze really puts this over the top. I would love it if you shared this on foodie friday today.
I have never had an apple pound cake and can't wait to try this recipe. Looks yummy.
Could you tell me what kind of apples you used for this delicious looking cake? Thanks so much!
Bunny, I used granny smith apples but I am sure any good cooking apple will do just fine, hope you get to try it. It is some kind of good! Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for the reply. I'm making the list now and plan on baking it this afternoon - sounds so yummy!

How could this not place? I'd give it a ribbon for the glaze alone. Thank you for linking with See Ya In the Gumbo this week.
Chocolate covered caramel entails a simple activity that the entire family can do together. Note that recipes are many too.
