Indulge in the warm flavors of Apple Pecan Cake With Caramel Glaze. This moist, buttery delight combines tender apples and crunchy pecans, finished with a luscious caramel topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups peeled and chopped apples (about 3 medium apples)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Step 5: Fold in the chopped apples and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool before adding the caramel glaze.

Notes

  • For best storage, keep the Apple Pecan Cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate it for up to a week. To enjoy it warm, simply reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or pop them in a toaster oven until warmed through. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to enhance the flavors and add a delightful creaminess. For an extra touch of flavor, consider lightly toasting the pecans before adding them to the batter; this brings out their nutty aroma and crunchiness in the cake.
