Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; stir into the batter just until blended. Fold in the apples and walnuts using a spoon. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the crown or the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes then invert on to a wire rack.
- Make the glaze by heating the butter, milk and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat. Drizzle over the warm cake. I like to place a sheet of aluminum foil under the cooling rack to catch the drips for easy clean up.

Tips:
- Use the best quality baking ingredients available, including fresh eggs, butter, and flour. - Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin baking. This will help them to blend together more easily and create a smoother batter. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake. - Gradually add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling. - Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the batter. This will help to distribute the ingredients evenly and prevent the cake from becoming lumpy. - Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly. - Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. - Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze to set properly.Conclusion:
