Ginger Cake with Caramel-Apple Topping

Ginger Cake with Caramel-Apple Topping
Recipe Tip
Make Mine Molasses
Molasses, a thick syrup, is a by-product of making sugar. Blackstrap molasses is the most concentrated type, full of vitamins and minerals such as iron and calcium.
Substitution
You can use 3 (6-oz) containers of Yoplait® Original 99% Fat Free harvest peach or French vanilla yogurt instead of the yogurt in the recipe if you like.
Did You Know?
The apple needs a split personality: peel the half that will be stirred into the batter; leave the peel on the remaining half for a more colorful topping.
