More about the cake
Cake pan: This cake can be made in any tube cake pan. I used my bundt cake pan and had great results.
Pecans: This cake has pecans in it and you can leave them out if you don't like them. I have never tried the cake without or with another type of nut.
Frosting: This cake is drizzled with a yummy frosting that's almost glaze like.
Got more apples: Try this apple pull apart bread.
