Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cup Green apples -- chopped
  • 1 cup Butter -- softened
  • 1 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 5 Eggs
  • 2 cup Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup Pecans -- chopped
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 325ðF (165ðC). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. 2
    Peel and core green apples, then chop into 1/2-inch cubes.
  3. 3
    In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  4. 4
    Add chopped apples and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp. Remove from heat and let cool.
  5. 5
    In a large bowl, cream the remaining 1 cup softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. 6
    Beat in vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. 7
    Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  8. 8
    In a separate medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
  9. 9
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just blended.
  10. 10
    Gently fold in the sautéed apples and chopped pecans using a spatula.
  11. 11
    Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  12. 12
    Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. 13
    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. 14
    While cake cools, make the caramel glaze: combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and whipping cream in a medium saucepan.
  15. 15
    Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  16. 16
    Cook and stir for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  17. 17
    Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and smooth.
  18. 18
    Let caramel sauce cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle generously over the cooled cake before serving.
