Recipe: Apple Cake with Caramel Sour Cream Glaze



I am always looking for new recipes to try and when I found this cake recipe on Michaela's blog, Collecting the Moments, I just knew I had to try it.  I love apple cake because they always turn out moist and this one is no exception.  The apples were definitely the star in this most delightful cake.  The cake was very good by itself but once the glaze was poured on it was over the top good!  

This recipe is definitely a keeper.  Enjoy!
