Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar for about 4 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly fluffy.
3
Add in the eggs one at a time, along with the vanilla extract, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5
Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8
For the brown sugar glaze, in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, packed brown sugar, granulated sugar, and whipping cream. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring or whisking constantly for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
9
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Drizzle the warm glaze generously over the cooled cake, allowing it to soak in slightly for an irresistible finish.
