How to Make Apple Walnut Cake with Caramel Sauce:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
In a large bowl, add oil, sugar, and eggs and mix until nice and creamy.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add mixture to a large bowl and mix well.
Add vanilla and mix well.
Add apples and walnuts.
Pour batter into a greased and floured springform pan (you can use two springform pans instead of a springform pan).
Bake at 325 degrees for about an hour. Check the cake with a toothpick after about 50 minutes; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
If you are using springform pans, be sure to check the cake after about 50 minutes as well.
Make the Glaze
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the brown sugar and milk.
Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring constantly.
Let it boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat, add vanilla, stir, and let cool.
Once the caramel sauce has cooled slightly, pour it over the cake.
