Ingredients
For Cake:
- 1 pound apples about 3 medium sized apples (Pink Lady or Honeycrisp recommended)
- 1 cup pecans toasted and chopped
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour sifted
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
For Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour a 10" Bundt pan.
- Peel, core and chop 1 pound apples into chunks. Toss with 1 cup pecans (toasted and chopped), 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup sugar and set aside.
- Stir together 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup orange juice, 4 eggs, and 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract. Mix half to two thirds of the wet ingredients into the dry ones and mix on high speed until well combined and light and fluffy. Add remaining liquid mixture and mix just until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Add about a third of the apples to the bottom of the bundt pan. Pour half of batter into prepared pan over the apples. Spoon half of the remaining apples onto the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the apples and arrange the remaining apples on top.
- Bake for about 1.5 hours, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack 15 minutes, then invert onto rack to cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour, and then transfer onto a plate.
- While the cake cools, add all the glaze ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together until smooth. Drizzle glaze over the top of cake, slice, add ice cream or whipped cream, and serve.1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons whole milk
