When the leaves on the trees begin to tinge color on their tips and the sky is clear and blue with gorgeous sunsets, I think of autumn, apples and baking. This apple walnut Bundt cake is one I like to make because it tastes great and is a quick and easy recipe.

Do you make apple picking part of your autumn experience each year? This past weekend was a perfect day to head to a farm to enjoy the weather and apple picking.
John texted our daughter, Abbey because she was interested in visiting Johnson’s Locust Hall Farms, and it worked out that we were all able to go together. We picked apples, and walked by the pumpkin patch and took lots of pics especially in the field of sunflowers.
Afterwards we purchased lunch and sat at picnic tables in a pavilion as we watched a few barnyard animals nearby. A local winery offered wine tasting that we shared over lunch. We even played a few rounds of corn toss.

You take the prettiest food photos, Lorraine! I love that this cake has shredded apples in it to get the apple taste without the chunks. It sounds like the perfect Fall dessert.
Nuff said, damn delicious!!!
A delicious treat!! Happy Fall! 🙂
A beautiful cake and the nuts on top just add to its look. I need to find myself a bunt pan again, not sure when mine left our house.
You need your own cooking show. This looks soooo good. Hope your weekend is great.
I love bundt cakes and this just sounds wonderful. What a great way to start fall, now if it was only calorie free.
Very nice! I've been craving nuts and have to get some this weekend… Happy Fall:@)
This looks wonderful, although I would have to skip the walnuts, they're the only nuts I don't like. I'm sure it would work without them though:)
This bundt looks wonderful; just waiting for a nice cup of tea. Blessings dear. Catherine
