• Spoon batter into prepared pan.
• Bake for 50 - 60 minutes. (Check with cake tester at the 50 minute mark.)
• Remove from oven and let cool on a rack 20-30 minutes until warm.
• Loosen all edges including around the center tube with a sharp knife before turning out onto a cake platter.

Salted Caramel Sauce

• In a medium-sized sauce pan stir together 1/4 cup cold water and granulated sugar until combined.
• Set over medium-high heat on the stove top and cook 9 -11 minutes without stirring until mixture is a deep amber color.
• Start checking closely at the 8 minute mark.
• Meanwhile, warm heavy cream and butter together with sea salt in a small sauce pan over medium heat. (Absolutely do not boil.)
• When sugar and water mixture is a deep amber color, slowly whisk in the warm cream and butter mixture.
• Whisk over the heat until it's smooth a minute or two, then remove from the heat.
• Salted caramel sauce will thicken up as it cools.
• When sauce is still warm, spoon over apple cake and cascade down the sides.
