2 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts (I omitted)
2 1/2 cups apples, canned or fresh (diced)

Preheat oven 350 degrees.
Cream together sugar, eggs, and oil.
Add flour; mix together until well blended.
Add vanilla, nuts, and diced apples.
Spread into a lightly greased and floured 13 x 9-inch baking dish; bake for 45 to 60 minutes.
Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
When cake is done, punch holes in it with a knife and pour topping over.
Caramel Topping:
(I cut all of this recipe in half, it was just way too much butter and sugar.) This is the cut in half version.
1 1/2 stick of butter
1 cup of brown sugar
1/8 cup of milk
Heat all ingredients together over medium heat.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil for about 2 minutes.
Pour over warm cake.
