Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch bundt pan.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs until light and fluffy. In another bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Fold flour mixture into the batter until just combined. Fold in the apples and nuts (if using) and pour into the prepared bundt pan.
Bake for 60-70 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool 20 minutes in the pan before inverting onto a wire rack.
For The Glaze:
To make the glaze, combine butter, heavy cream and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
Stir in vanilla until combined. Let sit 5-10 minutes to cool and thicken.
