Rich and Gooey Caramel Apple Cake

Today was Happy Wednesday - my turn. Maybe I'll explain Happy Wednesday later, suffice it to say that I needed to take a treat to school for a group of friends. I decided to make another batch of Rich And Gooey Caramel Apple Cake. It's my second time. The first time Sherilyn decided it needed an acronym, so it did become Ragcac. Anyway, it's a delicious spice/apple cake with a caramel topping that you put over it while it's still warm so it soaks in. I would send a picture - but somehow there's none left.
When I came home some of the caramel topping was left. It was perfect eating on a spoon. Mmmm.
I'm supposed to be studying for finals, but cooking is so much more fun. Tomorrow my students turn in their big paper. I always have treats for them when they have a paper due. Since it's a big paper, I think it should be a big treat. I'm trying to decide if I should make some more Ragcac, or if I should make delicious rolls and either meat/cheese or (cheaper) butter and jam. Any thoughts? I'm definitely making salsa verde and taking chips. But I think more than just that - it was a long paper for freshmen. We'll see.
Back to finals. Or maybe bed. After a week and a half I'm feeling better - maybe I should get rest so it stays that way. I definitely need to quit writing.

That Ragcac sounds good. Maybe some more of that. You're an awesome English teacher! I wish I had you for freshman english!

I am writing on a big paper right now and I think I know how it feels for your students. They'll appreciate what you do for them. Your treats sound so yummy!!
