    • Chopped pecans
    • All-purpose flour
    • Baking powder
    • Baking soda
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Ground nutmeg
    • Salt
    • Granulated sugar
    • Brown sugar
    • Eggs
    • Vegetable oil

  • For the Caramel Glaze:
    • Butter
    • Brown sugar
    • Heavy cream
    • Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla. Gradually add the dry mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Fold in apples and pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Prepare caramel glaze: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stir in brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and add vanilla.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake and let it soak in before serving.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for a balanced tart-sweet flavor.
  • The cake can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
  • Make sure the glaze is warm when pouring over the cake for better absorption.
