Caramel Apple Bundt Cake

I first made this cake last fall after seeing it shared on Barb's blog.  She doesn't blog anymore so thankfully I printed the recipe out because this needs to be made every fall.  The recipe is originally from yourhomebasedmom.com

Ingredients

3 eggs

2 cups of sugar (I only used one cup, and it was plenty for us)

1 1/2 cups of oil (I used 1 cup of unsweet applesauce and 1/2 cup of oil)

2 tsp. vanilla extract

3 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

3 cups of apples peeled and chopped (I used gala)

1 cup pecans chopped

Caramel Sauce

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup milk

1 cup brown sugar

pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan, set aside

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs until foamy then gradually add sugar, blend in oil and vanilla

Combine flour, salt and baking soda; add to egg mixture

Stir in apples and pecans

Do not over mix. Only stir to combine ingredients.  

Pour into bundt pan and bake for 1 hour until cake test done

In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients for sauce, boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly

Set aside

When cake is done let cool in pan upside down over a wire rack for 10-15 minutes.

Remove cake to a platter and slowly pour caramel topping over the cake. (I poked holes in the cake with a wooden stick so some of the caramel goes inside)
