Cinnamon Apple Cake with Buttermilk Caramel Sauce

Deciding what to bring to book club is a big deal.  We read books, but we also eat really yummy food and there are amazing cooks in this group.  We’ve often wonder if we should just call ourselves a food group who happen to read a few good books now and then!

I chose to bring this luscious apple cake.

I love apple cake; it reminds me of fall when the apple tree limbs are weighted down with their bounteous harvest.  I wanted to find one with a healthier bent because after all, this is a healthy food blog, so I looked to Cooking Light for a little inspiration and found this one HERE.  I modified it by using whole wheat pastry flour, but otherwise I pretty much left it as is.  Even with additional reductions like reduced-fat cream cheese and 3 cups of sliced apples this dessert is still full of calories.  But then I thought, “wouldn’t it be awesome to add a homemade caramel sauce; you know, because you can’t have enough sweet with your apple cake?”  So I’ll cut a small piece and drizzle a little caramel sauce on top . . . and enjoy every bite!
