This lightly sweetened and spiced cake is filled with chunks of apple, then drizzled with warm caramel sauce just before serving. A sprinkling of raw sugar over the top of the cake adds a bit of crunch and sweetness as well.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13 pan with butter or line with parchment. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, salt, and brown sugar. Set aside.
Whisk the eggs lightly and then whisk in the sour cream. Add the milk and butter and whisk until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the apples.
Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle generously with the raw sugar. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
