For the icing:
For the stewed apple topping:
- Preheat the oven to 180˚C/160˚C fan/gas mark 4. Grease two round 20cm cake tins and line with parchment paper.
- Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla until blended.
- Combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir into the butter mixture until blended.
- Place the apples in a food processor and pulse for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture resembles chunky apple sauce. Add a splash of water if needed.
- Stir the apples into the rest of the ingredients. Divide the batter between the tins and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean.
- Leave to cool in the tins for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat the cream cheese and butter for the icing until creamy. Gradually beat in the icing sugar and cinnamon until blended. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Spread half of the icing over one of the cakes, then top with the other cake and spread the rest of the icing over the top.
- For the topping, place the apples in a saucepan with the cinnamon. Cook over a medium heat for 12-15 minutes until the apples are soft. Stir in the caramel, then remove from the heat and allow to cool before topping the cake.
