It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium tart apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
Caramel Topping
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a mixing bowl with electric mixer, beat together sugar, oil, cinnamon, and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring just until blended. Stir in apples.
Pour apple cake batter into a greased 9-inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees F until cake springs back when touched lightly in the center, about 30 to 40 minutes.
With a fork, pierce cake all over. Pour hot caramel topping over cake. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping.
For Caramel Topping: Combine brown sugar, butter, and cream in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and continue cooking and stirring for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Pour caramel topping over hot apple cake.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
