Prepare Filling:
Beat first 3 ingredients at medium speed until blended and smooth. Add egg, flour and vanilla. Beat until blended.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecans in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Stir together 3 cups flour and next 7 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in eggs and next 3 ingredients, stirring until dry ingredients are just moistened. Stir in apples and pecans. Spoon two thirds of mixture into a greased and floured 14 cup bundt pan. Spoon cream cheese fillling over mixture leaving a one inch border around edges of pan. Swirl filling through apple mixture using a paring knife. Spoon remaining apple mixture over cream cheese filling. Bake a 350 degrees for one hour or until a wooden stick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool cake for 15 minutes and remove from pan to a cooling rack. Allow to cool thoroughly.
Prepare Frosting:
Bring 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter and 3 tbsp milk to a boil in a two qt. saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly; boil one minute. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Gradually whisk in powdered sugar until smooth. Stir gently 3 to 5 minutes until mixture begins to cool and thickens slightly. Pour immediately over cooled cake.
