I've been playing with a recipe and finally decided that I would test it today. The aroma that flowed through the house while this was baking was just out of this world wonderful! Apples, cream cheese filling and a praline topping, does it get any better...well if you add toasted pecans it might! And you know I added em! Hope you enjoy!! Inspired by several online recipes

Steps:
- CREAM CHEESE FILLING: Beat cream cheese, butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended and smooth. Add egg, flour, and vanilla; beat just until blended; set aside.
- CAKE BATTER: Preheat oven to 350º. Bake pecans in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through. Remove from oven; set aside.
- In a large bowl: whisk together 3 cups flour and next 7 ingredients; stir in eggs, canola oil, apple pie filling and vanilla; stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in toasted pecans. NOTE: chop the apples (from apple pie filling) into small pieces. I used kitchen scissors to cut into smaller pieces.
- Spoon two-thirds of batter into a greased and floured 14-cup Bundt pan.
- Spoon Cream Cheese Filling over batter, leaving a 1-inch border around edges of pan. Swirl cream cheese filling through batter using a paring knife. Spoon remaining batter over Cream Cheese Filling.
- Bake at 350º for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes; invert onto plate, and cool completely.
- PRALINE FROSTING: Over medium heat in a 2-qt saucepan bring brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream to a boil, whisking constantly; boil 1 minute.
- Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
- Gradually whisk in powdered sugar until smooth; stir gently 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture begins to cool and thickens slightly.
- Pour immediately over cooled cake. Sprinkle toasted pecans on top if desired.
