Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups cooking oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3½ cups Granny Smith apples (peeled and finely chopped)
  • 1 cup pecans (finely chopped)
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cooking oil and granulated sugar. Add eggs one at a time and mix well before adding vanilla.
  2. In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
  3. Fold in the chopped apples and pecans evenly into the batter.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased bundt pan or two round cake pans. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. For the caramel glaze, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then stir in brown sugar and milk until smooth. Bring to a gentle boil while stirring; simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Let the glaze cool slightly before drizzling over the cooled cake.
