I created this recipe after a trip to an orchard with my family. This moist cake is full of hearty apples and nuts, while the caramel topping adds a delectable finish. —Sharon Cable, Dyersville, Iowa.

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups chopped peeled apples (about 3 medium)
TOPPING:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fat-free milk
Dash salt
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 10-in. fluted tube pan; dust with flour, tapping out extra.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, applesauce, oil and vanilla until well blended. In another bowl, whisk flour, salt and baking soda; gradually beat into sugar mixture. Stir in apples.
Transfer to prepared pan. Bake 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, milk and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand to thicken slightly. Spoon slowly over cake. Sprinkle with walnuts.

Toasting Nuts

To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Greasing Fluted (Bundt) Tube Pans

To remove cakes easily, use solid shortening to grease plain and fluted tube pans.
