------------------------------

FOR THE CAKE

1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 cups peeled and chopped apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup pecans

FOR THE FROSTING

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons calvados or apple brandy (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 tp 2 cups powdered sugar

FOR THE CAKE

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Evenly spread pecans on a small baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, 6-10 minutes. Remove from oven, chop and set aside to cool.

Peel apples, remove the core and chop into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces. Pour the lemon juice over the apples to prevent browning and to brighten the flavor.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the oil, sugar, and eggs. Beat until well combined, 2-4 minutes.

Add vanilla, mixing until incorporated.

Add the flours, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are just incorporated and only a few dry streaks remain.

Fold the prepared apples and cooled pecans into the batter. Set aside 2 tablespoons of nuts to garnish the top if desired.

Spray a ten-inch tube pan (angel food cake pan) with nonstick baking spray. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread to an even layer.

Bake in the preheated oven until the cake springs back and an inserted skewer comes out clean with only a few crumbs attached, 75-90 minutes.

Remove from oven, let cool in the pan for 1 hour. Turn out onto cake plate and make the frosting.

FOR THE FROSTING

Combine sugar, butter, and milk. Stir to dissolve sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 2 minutes and remove from heat.

Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and calvados (if using). Whisk until smooth and adjust with more milk or sugar to achieve a thin frosting consistency.

Immediately drizzle frosting over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with reserved pecans and enjoy!
