Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two cake pans.
In a mixing bowl, cream together coconut oil and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in almond milk and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients until just mixed; fold in diced apples.
Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
For the caramel sauce: Melt sugar over medium heat until amber-colored; add coconut oil, then slowly mix in almond milk until smooth.
For the frosting: Beat coconut oil until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in almond milk and vanilla until fluffy.
Assemble by layering cake with frosting and drizzling caramel on top.
