Fresh Apple Pound Cake with Brown sugar topping

I found this recipe on the Apple Barn Website. It did take a long time to make, but it was so worth it! This might be one of the best cakes that I have ever made. The brown sugar topping is more like a caramel, which is fine with me. Think Pecan Pie - in cake form. So Good!!
