5. Arrange sliced apples over the top and arrange pecan halves in one layer in the center of the cake.
6. Mix together the 1/4 cup brown sugar with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil and water and warm this in the microwave for 30 seconds until sugar has melted.
7. Brush half of the glaze over apples and pecans saving the other half for later.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out free of batter. Remove from oven and brush with remaining glaze.
9. Run a smooth edged knife around edge of pan and then remove ring. Let the cake cool completely about 1 hour and serve with whipped cream. So delicious!!
