Apple spice cake won’t last long and caramel frosting just tops this cake off. I love anything with apples and caramel! Great if you need a quick dessert since it uses a mix and is an easy and delicious cake to serve with coffee or as a snack with milk anytime. I love making cakes from scratch but there are times when you need something in a hurry and this cake is a quick recipe.
