Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Fresh apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup Pecans (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or a Bundt pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by combining the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, then let it simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
While the cake is still warm, pour the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to soak in.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy the Southern comfort of this fresh apple cake!
