Toss peeled & diced apples in 1 Tbsp light brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour three 6" cake rounds, line with parchment. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine vegetable oil and sugars. Beat until well combined (2 mins). Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating after each addition. Add vanilla. Add flour mixture in 3 parts. Fold in apples. Spread batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 45-50 mins or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Place cakes on wire rack to cool for 10mins then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.

* The caramel can be made the day before and left in the fridge overnight. ** Ensure there is NO trace of egg yolks in your whites and that your mixer bowl and whisk is completely grease free or your meringue won’t stiffen. *** The buttercream may look like it’s curdled at some point. Keep mixing until it is completely smooth. **** If caramel has thickened too much, microwave in 5-10 second intervals until it’s pourable (but not warm).

Hi im am planning to make this cake! I have made several recipes of yours before and I loved them all. I do have a question, 2 cups apples seems to me not enough apple, does the cake has a strong apple taste? Could I add more or will it change the cake?
Thank you so much
This cake was a huge hit at my daughter's birthday party. Several people asked for the recipe. Mine was not quite as beautiful as yours, but it looked delightfully autumnal and tasted superb. Thanks!
Very delicious cake! My family made it together for a birthday and turned out delicious. Next time I will reduce the overall sweetness of the cake and frosting since it was a bit too sweet and set the baking timer to 32mins since it was almost overbaked at 40mins.
Liv, just to let you know I ended up going with 5 layers (for a 70th birthday cake) and it was perfect. Not overly sweet and full of flavour. The non-cake eaters were even fans! Thank you!
Made it for my mother in laws 80th birthday. Turned out pretty !
