BEST MOIST APPLE CAKE
Best apple cake we've ever eaten. I've taken three recipes and combined them to create what my family now requests for birthdays! We think the cake is better once it sits for awhile. Even refrigerated and then heated back up, the flavors seem to really stand out. You can substitute pecans for the walnuts.

APPLE CINNAMON BUNDT CAKE
This recipe is from Every Day Foods. I saw it on TV, and it looked so easy, I had to make it. It's moist and full of tender and chunky apple slices, and has a rich cinnamon spice flavor. I served it still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Wow! Be sure to serve within the first day or two, as the apples will break down.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350, and prepare the 12 cup bundt pan (grease and flour if you don't have a non-stick).
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave, and add brown sugar and eggs, whisking until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in dry ingredients just until combined- don't overmix.
- Fold in the apples (it will look sort of like peanut butter coated apple slices, but don't worry- the batter bakes up around the apple slices) and spoon batter into the bundt pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (about an hour).
- Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, and invert onto a rack placed over wax paper to cool completely.
- Make the glaze by whisking the water (or apple juice) together with the confectioners' sugar adding just enough liquid to make the glaze thick but pourable.
- Drizzle glaze over completely cooled cake, and let it firm up before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are firm and tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. This will give your cake a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh spices: Freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg will give your cake the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
- Don't overbake the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
This moist apple cinnamon cake is the perfect fall dessert. It's easy to make and full of flavor. The apples give the cake a sweet and tart flavor, while the cinnamon and nutmeg add a warm and cozy spice. The cake is also very moist and tender, thanks to the addition of sour cream and buttermilk. Whether you serve it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this cake is sure to be a hit.
