• Combine wet ingredients:
• Stir together sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until lightened in color, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Make Cake batter:
• Gradually add flour mixture to egg mixture, beating on low speed until just combined and no flour streaks remain, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add apples and pecans:
• Fold apples and pecans into batter until evenly distributed.
