Butter & flour a 10" Bundt pan.
Using an electric mixer, blend together the oil & sugar in a large bowl.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift flour, soda, nutmeg & cinnamon into egg mixture, beating thoroughly.
The batter will be very stiff.
Fold the apples & walnuts into the batter with a spatula, then stir in the vanilla.
Spoon batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 1 1/4 hours, or till a pick inserted in cake comes out clean.
Place pan on a rack; let cool for about 1 hour.
TO MAKE CARAMEL SAUCE:
Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat.
Stir in brown sugar.
When sugar dissolves, add the cream, whisking to form an emulsion.
Gently turn cake out onto a plate.
Pour about 1/2 cup of the warm sauce over the cake to form a glaze.
Serve immediately, with a little of the remaining sauce spooned over each slice, or let the cake cool completely.
The sauce keeps well in frig, but it should be reheated before serving.
