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.

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.
