Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; stir into the batter just until blended.

Fold in the apples by hand. Pour into the prepared bundt pan.

Bake for 55-70 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool for about 20 minutes in the pan and then invert on to a wire rack.

Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat.

Add in vanilla and stir until combined. Let sit 5-10 minutes to thicken.
