In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating between each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Finish the batter.
Add the flour mixture and mix to combine. Fold in the shredded apples.
Step 4: Bake the cake.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip it over onto a serving dish to cool completely.
Step 5: Glaze the cake.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, caramel sauce, and one tablespoon of milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to thin the glaze to your desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake before serving.
