    Toppings for this Almond Apple Cake

    To add extra flavor and truly make this almond apple cake stand apart from all the others, we added extra deliciousness. Let's start by mixing sugar, cinnamon and sliced almonds and top the cake before baking. The almonds with toast to perfection and the cinnamon sugar will caramelize to a sweet candy crust. To give another layer of flavor, we mixed amaretto liquor with dulce de leche until a sauce consistency was reached. Add a generous drizzle and it is perfect! I will be making this cake for Thanksgiving. This recipe is a keeper.
