Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
- Add the eggs, milk, and canola oil to the dry ingredient mixture. Mix well until a smooth batter forms.

Add Nuts and Apples:
- Stir in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Then, gently fold in the soaked apple pieces along with any remaining juice, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Bake Until Firm:
- Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the middle of the cake is firm to the touch.

Prepare Glaze:
- While the cake is still hot, prepare the glaze by blending together the sugar, melted butter, and apple juice until smooth.
-
Glaze the Cake:
- Once the cake is removed from the oven, pour the prepared glaze evenly over the top. Use a fork to poke holes evenly over the surface of the cake to allow the glaze to penetrate.

Cooling:
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the glaze to set.
