Apple Cake with Caramel Drizzle

A is for Apple 

This is my all time favorite apple cake recipe.  Its ridiculously easy and incredibly yummy.

Apple Cake with 
Caramel Drizzle

1 1/4 Cups Oil
2 Eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla
2 Cups Sugar
3 Cups Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 1/2 Cups Pecan Pieces
3 Cups Coarsely Chopped Granny Smith Apples (chunks should be about an inch)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  In a stand mixer, beat eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar until incorporated.  Add flour, salt, and baking soda.  Stir just to combine.  Add chopped apples and pecan pieces.  Stir until apples and pecans are evenly distributed (this batter will be VERY thick).

Bake one hour in a well greased bundt pan.  Cool completely in pan and flip out onto a serving plate.

Caramel Glaze:
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 stick of Butter
1/4 Cup Whole Milk

Melt together over low heat and until it boils (no longer).  Stir consistently while heating.  Punch holes all over cake surface (I use an chopstick for this) and pour caramel glaze over the cake.
