Directions:Preheat oven to 350 º. Prepare filling: Beat first 3 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended and smooth. Add egg, flour and vanilla; beat just until blended. Prepare batter: Bake pecans in a shallow pan 8-10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through. Stir together 3 c. flour and next 7 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in eggs and next 3 ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in apples and pecans. Spoon 2/3 of apple mixture into a greased and floured 14 c. Bundt pan. Spoon cream cheese filling over apple mixture, leaving a 1 inch border around edges of pan. Swirl filling through apple mixture using a paring knife. Spoon remaining apple mixture over cream cheese filling. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack and cool completely (about 2 hours). Prepare frosting: Bring 1/2 c. brown sugar, 1/4 c. butter and 3 Tbsp. milk to a boil in a 2 qt. saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil 1 minute, whisking constantly. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Gradually whisk in powdered sugar until smooth; stir gently for 3-5 minutes or until mixture begins to cool and thicken slightly. Pour immediately over cooled cake. |
