\"Warm<\/p>\n

Yes, today is National Dessert Day! \u00a0Like we need an excuse to eat dessert, but if you’re looking for an excuse, a national holiday sounds like the perfect justification. And this warm apple cake with chunks of apple, brown sugar and cinnamon will have you looking like a dessert-making rock star\u00a0when you pull out freshly baked, individual bowls of heaven for the lucky ducks sitting around your table. Who does that? You do, starting now. \ud83d\udc4a When it’s as easy as a one-bowl cake batter, topped off with a scoop of salted caramel gelato that acts as a cold creamy frosting AND caramel sauce — there’s simply no stopping you on your road to dessert stardom.<\/p>\n

\"Warm<\/p>\n

It all starts with the warm apple cake, which is one of those recipes you should definitely have in your arsenal. A simple, mix-with-a-spoon batter that comes together in a snap, with flavors that far outweigh your effort. The big chunks of apple, the warmth of cinnamon and the hints of smokey molasses from the brown sugar — it’s all the goodness of the season in each bite. Prepare the individual dishes so that they’re ready to hit the oven about 35\u00a0minutes before you want to devour them. As the\u00a0apple scented aroma fills the air, those 35 minutes may feel like an eternity, but find strength in knowing that soon you’ll be lifting your spoon in triumph.<\/p>\n

\"Warm<\/p>\n

Once the cakes have cooled enough to handle, top with a scoop of\u00a0Breyers\u00ae Salted Caramel Truffle Gelato Indulgences\u2122. If you’ve never tried gelato, think ice cream but elevated, with a silky smooth, ultra amazing texture. Breyers Gelato Indulgences combines a trio of textures: creamy gelato, luscious sauce and gourmet toppings — and the salted caramel flavor was MADE\u00a0to go with this apple cake. Well, I guess technically it was MADE to be eaten by salted caramel lovers everywhere but this apple cake has seriously met its soul mate.<\/p>\n

\"Warm<\/p>\n

Once on top, the gelato instantly starts to soften and becomes a creamy river of deliciousness laced with salted caramel drizzles. Who needs frosting when you can have gelato, salted caramel sauce and mini chocolate truffles all in one scoop. And don’t even get me started on the warm-cold tango that this little number serves up.\u00a0It’s a dreamy creamy dessert worthy of National Dessert Day, or any day for that matter.<\/p>\n
