Combine 1.5 cups crushed walnuts, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon in a bowl.

Add 3 tablespoons baking powder and a dash of salt to the mixture and combine briefly with a fork.

Chop up 3 Granny Smith apples and cover them with the flour and cinnamon mixture to prevent sinking in the batter.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 1/2 cup Irish whiskey, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil until combined.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients using a fork until mixed.

Grease a bundt cake pan generously with butter and add 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sticking.

Layer the ingredients in the bundt pan, starting with a layer of apples, then crushed walnuts, followed by cake batter, and repeat until all ingredients are used.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356°F) and bake the cake for about 65 minutes.

Once baked, let the cake cool overnight covered with aluminum foil.

The next morning, flip the cake out of the bundt pan.

For the cream cheese frosting, combine cream cheese with heavy cream until spreadable, adding 1.5 tablespoons powdered sugar for sweetness.

Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake, then top with crushed walnuts and caramel sauce.
