Caramel Apple Cake
When I go to potlucks, family gatherings or on hunting and fishing trips with my husband and son, this cake is one of my favorite desserts to bring. The flavorful cake stays moist as long as it lasts, which isn't long!

Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine oil and sugars.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Combine dry ingredients; add to batter and stir well.
Fold in apples, walnuts and vanilla.
Pour into a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for 1½ hours or until cake tests done.
Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, heat brown sugar, cream, butter and salt until sugar is dissolved.
Cool to room temperature. Beat in confectioner's sugar until smooth; drizzle over cake. Sprinkle with nuts if desired.
