Notes

Tips and Substitutions
  • The pecans can be swapped with walnuts. They can also be omitted if nuts aren't desired.
  • The apples can diced to your size preference. They can be finely diced up to a larger chop, slightly smaller than the size of a dice.
  • This cake can also be made in a 12-cup bundt pan.
  • Before pouring on the glaze, if desired, you can poke holes all over top of warm cake using a wooden skewer.
