"Marilyn Thomas, one of the original apple growers at Apple Hill, California, opened the first bake shop there in 1966. This is her favorite recipe for Bundt cake. This cake is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, making a nice contrast of textures."

ingredients

3 cups flour
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
3 cups diced raw apples
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional)
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
TOPPING
¹⁄₂ cup melted butter
¹⁄₄ cup sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

directions

Sift together the flour, salt, and soda (and cinnamon, if used). Add rest of ingredients and mix together until well blended. The mixture will be very thick, heavy, and hard to stir.
Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan. I prefer the flexible silicone rubber pans as this recipe tends to stick to metal pans.
Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
While the cake bakes, prepare the topping by mixing all of the ingredients together.
As soon as the cake is removed from the oven, and while it is still in the pan, pour the topping over the top. The topping will soak through the cake and down the sides.
Let cool for 30 minutes, then invert the cake onto a plate and remove the pan.
Optional - sprinkle with powdered sugar. - Add 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients of the mix.

I made this for the first time today and it turned out very good, I used Honey Crisp apples and didn't peel them but I chopped them pretty fine, I don't like big chunks of apples in my cakes so it was good and got great reviews from family. I will peel my apples in the future just to be on the safe side, this recipe does not specifically say to peel but others do. I made my own Vanilla with real Vanilla beans and they have been steeping in Rum for about 6 mo and decided to use that in my cake and it made a big difference I think. Anyway, I will make this again and can recommend.
