    • 2 cups granulated sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • For the caramel glaze:

    • 1/2 cup butter
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your Bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. Mix Oil and Sugar: In a large bowl, vigorously mix the vegetable oil and granulated sugar. Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Blend Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Add Apples and Pecans: Fold in the chopped apples, pecans, and vanilla extract gently.
  6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  7. Make Caramel Glaze: While the cake cools slightly, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add milk and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
  8. Glaze and Cool: Invert the cake onto a wire rack after 20 minutes of cooling in the pan. Drizzle with warm caramel glaze. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
