Instead of a traditional apple pie, opt for this spiced apple cake for Thanksgiving. Grated apples in the filling give it a moist, dense texture, while the caramel glaze and pretty caramelized walnuts make it truly show-stopping.

Cooks' Note

Cake can also be baked in a greased 13x9" pan. Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30–35 minutes.
