Apple Bundt Cake:

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

• ▢¾ cup granulated sugar
• ▢1 teaspoon cinnamon

Cake

• ▢4 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
• ▢2 cups granulated sugar
• ▢4 teaspoon baking powder
• ▢1 teaspoon salt
• ▢1 cup whole milk at room temperature
• ▢1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
• ▢4 large eggs at room temperature
• ▢1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ▢4-5 apples peeled & thinly sliced
• ▢powdered sugar for dusting

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat to 350° F. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan. Set aside.
2. Mix together the granulated sugar & cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt.
4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Beat well until fully mixed.
5. Layer the bottom of the bundt pan with a layer batter, about 1½ cups of batter. Then add a layer of sliced apples. Sprinkle some cinnamon sugar mixture over top the apples. Repeat 2 more times, and then end with another layer of batter on top. You should have 4 layers of batter, and 3 layers of apples.
6. Bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife carefully around the edges, and invert onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or glaze & serve.
