Apple Pecan Caramel Cake (Print Version)

Moist apple cake studded with pecans and topped with a smooth caramel glaze - perfect for fall gatherings or special occasions.

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
03 - 1 cup chopped pecans
04 - 1 cup shredded apples (about 2 medium)
05 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
06 - 1/2 cup sour cream
07 - 3 large eggs
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
10 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
11 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
02 - Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of baking!
03 - Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
04 - While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramel glaze by melting caramel candies with a bit of milk over low heat, stirring until smooth. Make sure to stir continuously to prevent burning.
05 - Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the warm caramel glaze over the top before serving. This adds a beautiful sheen and irresistible flavor!
