How to Make an Apple Spice Cake
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a bundt pan with cooking spray or grease with butter.
In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar and eggs until smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the flour, spices, salt and soda. Add to the butter mixture one cup at a time, mixing after each cup.
To the batter add the applesauce and mix until well combined. Fold in the chopped apples and pecan pieces.
Pour into prepared pan and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Place a plate over the bundt pan and turn the pan upside down to remove the cake from the pan.
How to make Caramel Glaze
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add in the sweetened condensed milk and cream and bring to a boil. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the caramel turns a golden color.
Remove from the heat and add the vanilla.
