In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, oil, eggs, and extract. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in apples and pecans.
Spoon batter into a greased and floured bundt pan and bake in a 325F oven for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Cool in pan for approximately 15 minutes, unmold and cool on rack.
To make caramel sauce:
Melt butter and sugar over medium heat stirring for about 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cream, stirring as you bring to a boil. Simmer until the mixture is slightly reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Slice cake and serve with warm caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream.
