Apple Cake with Brown Sugar Topping

For the Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3 cups apples — such as Rome Beauty, chopped
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tsp vanilla

For the Topping
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter

Heat the oven to 350°. Generously grease and flour a tube cake pan.
Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir or whisk to blend thoroughly and then set aside.
In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the eggs.
Add the sugar and oil and beat for 3 min.
Gradually stir in sifted dry ingredients.
Fold in apples, walnuts, and vanilla.
Spoon the batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan and bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 min.

About 5 min before the cake is done, combine the topping ingredients in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil over high heat and boil for 3 min.

Pour the hot topping over the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Let the cake cool and then loosen the sides, inverting the cake on a plate.
Then invert on another plate, topping side up.

Serves 12-16
