Fresh Apple Cake with Caramel Glaze

Cake:
4 eggs, beaten*
2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. oil
2 1/2 c. SR flour
1 t. apple pie spice or cinnamon
2 t. vanilla
3 c. peeled and chopped apples
1 c. chopped pecans (I use Mrs. Fisher's cookie pieces), optional

Glaze:
1 1/2 sticks butter
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. milk
1 t. vanilla

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a bundt or angel food cake pan. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, and oil until blended. Add flour gradually in batches, stirring well after each. Add apple pie spice and vanilla. Stir in apples and pecans. Batter will be thick, Pour batter into pan. Bake for 1 hour. Allow cake to cool completely, then invert onto a cake plate or stand.  In a small pan, melt butter over low heat. Whisk in brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil and them reduce to a simmer. Whisk constantly for about 5 minutes then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Allow the glaze to cool for 5 minutes, then pour over cake. Top with additional chopped pecans if desired. Slice and serve. *beating eggs before adding to batter will result in a less stiff batter.
