Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh apples that are crisp and juicy. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples are all good choices.
- To make sure the pecans are evenly toasted, spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them for 5-7 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- The caramel glaze is optional, but it really takes this cake to the next level. If you don't have time to make the glaze, you can simply dust the cake with powdered sugar.
