Prepare the Caramel Topping  

1. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the butter and brown sugar, stirring  continuously until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
2. Pour the caramel sauce into the bottom of a greased 10-inch round cake pan. 3. Arrange the sliced apples evenly over the caramel in a single layer.

Make the Cake Batter

2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. 4. In another small bowl, stir together the milk and sour cream until smooth. 5. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk/ sour cream mixture, mixing just until combined.
