Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, mix together oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended.
Fold in chopped apples and nuts (if using).
Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, combine brown sugar, butter, and milk in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best flavor.
You can substitute apples with pears for a variation.
The cake can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.
