DELICIOUS CARAMEL APPLE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Combine white sugar, oil, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add apples, flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and cinnamon; beat until a thick batter forms. Spread batter in the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Poke holes in the hot cake with a fork.
• Combine brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; cook for 2 1/2 minutes. Pour immediately over the warm cake. Let cake sit for 3 hours to soak up the glaze.

CARAMEL APPLE PIE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, stir 1 teaspoon cinnamon into the dry cake mix, then add ingredients called for on the package. Beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer. Gently fold in chopped apple pie filling (I just used kitchen scissors and cut the apples right in the can). Pour into a greased 13x9-inch baking dish and bake cake in a preheated oven according to package instructions.
• When the cake is done, remove from the oven and cool for 20 minutes.
• Gently poke holes into the cake with the end of a wooden spoon or with the tines of a fork. The cake is very moist, so do this gently to avoid pulling it apart.
• Pour the dulce de leche into a microwavable container and microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring each time, until thin enough to pour; about 1 minute.
• Pour the dulce de leche over the cake and spread gently in an even layer.
• Refrigerate cake for 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting. Beat butter and cream cheese on high speed for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup caramel sauce. Beat for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream or cool whip. Add more as desired for a thicker consistency.
• Drizzle with remaining caramel and sprinkle with optional chopped pecans or toffee bits. Refrigerate until ready to serve, then cut into squares.

SALTED CARAMEL APPLE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• For the cake: Whisk the applesauce, brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla together in a large bowl until smooth. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and kosher salt to the bowl and whisk until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Leave the cake in the pan to cool completely, about 2 hours.
• Once the cake is cool, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke 25 holes in the cake (5 rows of 5 holes each). Press 2 to 3 apple pieces into each hole; reserve the remaining pieces for garnish. Pour and spread the caramel sauce over the cake and let it stand 10 minutes to sink into the holes and be absorbed by the cake. Sprinkle with the flaky salt.
• Meanwhile, for the cinnamon buttercream: Beat the butter, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Add the cream and vanilla and continue beating until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Dollop the frosting on top of the cake, then use a small offset spatula to spread it evenly. Garnish with the remaining apple chunks, a drizzle of caramel sauce and another sprinkle of flaky salt.
