Apple Pecan Cake with Caramel Glaze is an moist delicious cake that is filled with warm flavors of spiced apples and toasted pecans, then topped with gooey caramel glaze that seeps into the cake with every bite. Ideal for fall get-togethers or a comfort dessert no matter the season, this moist, fragrant cake is delicious and impressive.
It starts with a batter crammed with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, filling the air as it bakes with a warm, spiced perfume. Folding in fresh apples and chopped pecans adds texture and natural sweetness that balances well with the tender cake. After baking to a golden perfection, the cake is topped with a buttery caramel glaze, poured over it while the cake is still warm. As it sinks in, the glaze imparts a bit of rich flavor that escalates every slice.
Let it cool at least until serving, so the flavors can mingle; serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This cake is an inviting treat that’s fun to bake and just as fun to eat, and it can hold its own in dessert lineup.
