1. Prepare filling: Beat first 3 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended and smooth. Add egg, flour, and vanilla; beat just until blended.

Stir together 3 cups flour and next 7 ingredients in large bowl; stir in eggs and next 3 ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in apples and pecans.
3. Spoon two-thirds of apple mixtures into a greased and floured 14-cup bundt pan. Spoon cream cheese filling over apple mixture, leaving a 1" border around edges of pan. Swirl filling through apple mixture using a paring knife. Spoon remaining apple mixture over cream cheese filling.
4. Bake at 350' for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 min or until a long wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack 15 min; remove from pan to wire rack and cool completely (about 2 hours)

Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Gradually whisk in powdered sugar until smooth; stir gently 3-5 min or until mixture begins to cool and thickens slightly. Pour immediately over cooled cake.
