My "carmel sauce" has turned into "crunchy toffee"! (It cooled on the pan almost instantly and hardened before I could add the apple silces). I dare say something went awry... Unless it will melt again while baking the cake?? I'm terrified I've done something wrong and will ruin my pan. Help! My “carmel sauce” has turned into “crunchy toffee”!

I'm making it for Christmas eve and the then Christmas day, it looks so yummy! I messed it up a bit by pouring all the batter in a 9 inch pan, but it didn't overflow. When I make it tomorrow I'll follow another comenters suggestion and make some muffins with the overflow. Can't wait to flip it! Just pulled this baby out of the oven.

Sadly I already effed it up and misread the pan size. I scooped some of the batter out and am praying it doesnt overflow in the oven. On the side note, it tasted VERY delicious, and the stovetop caramel smelled soooo good when i was stirring it. Im positive this is a good recipe but my silly mishaps might have caused yet another kitchen disaster *sighs* This is in the oven right now as we speak.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I feel a bit dumb asking this, but for some reason when I make the brown sugar/butter caramel, it turns grainy rather than smooth and melted.

Amazing. The flavor and soft texture of the gingerbread is incredible, and the apples and caramel balance the overall taste perfectly! Thanks for another great recipe, Deb! I will definitely be making this again. This. Is. Amazing. The flavor and soft texture of the gingerbread is incredible, and the apples and caramel balance the overall taste perfectly!
