Laurie Thomas

Ingredients
3 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups oil
4 Macintosh apples, diced
3 cups flour
1 cup chopped walnuts, optional

Caramel sauce:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream or Carnation evaporated milk

Instructions
Mix eggs, sugar, vanilla and oil (first four ingredients) in a bowl and set aside. In a very large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the apples and walnuts to the dry ingredients. Fold the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Pour batter into an ungreased bundt pan. Bake at 325 F for 1 1/2 hour. Cool at least 15 minutes, then remove from pan.
Caramel sauce:  Bring sauce ingredients to a boil and pour the sauce, or some of the sauce, over the cake.  You can keep a bit of the sauce to pour over each piece of cake when you serve.

Note:   There is lots of oil in this cake.
You can double the sauce recipe, if desired.
