Foodie Friday- Apple Pudding

Ok, so this is actually "pudding." It's much more cake-like. But whatever it is, it's delicious!! My mom has made it twice and it is soooo good. And I'm not really a sweets person. (I know, I know, shocker.) If you like caramel apples, and you like cake, you will LOVE this dessert.
