Moist Caramel Apple Cake

Modified from Kraft Foods

1 pkg (2 layer size) yellow cake mix

1 pkg (4 serving size) vanilla instant pudding

1 cup water

4 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and coarsely chopped

20 caramels, unwrapped

1/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour (I just spray it with Pam) fluted tube (bundt) pan. Beat cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs and oil in a large bowl with electric mixer on low until blended. Beat on high speed 2 minutes. Gently stir in apples. Pour into pan.

Bake 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes, then remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

Microwave caramels and milk in bowl on high for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until blended. Cool 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Drizzle over cake.
