can i add caramel sauce to the center of a bundt cake before baking

I am in the middle of making an apple cake, Bundt-style. My cousin makes this fantasic, to-die-for caramel sauce and i want to add it to the center of the bundt cake, along with the apples. Will this work?

Brenda - I've only done the "filling in the middle" in other cakes, but it seems it should work.
See, for example, this guideline:

But/and, I'm a little worried at the use of both apples AND filling, (may make the cake too moist, the whole thing may not hold together) so I would go light on the quantities of each, to give the flavors you want but still hold together.
I hope it comes out well, and please tell us your results...

Or a variation - if you've already mixed the apples in, or want to use a lot, bake them in the cake but save the caramel and use that as in icing or a garnish when you serve...

Thank you for your insightful response(s). I have some apple sprinkle from Pampered Chef - will put that in the center.

Do you remember when Duncan Hines first introduced its "Tunnel of Fudge" cake mixes? They were all the rage!
