Apple Walnut Bundt Cake

By Lorraine

 
Need a quick and easy dessert? You'll love frosted apple walnut Bundt cake with grated apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and walnuts or pecans. 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.

Picking apples Johnson's Farm

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.

 

Picking apples Johnson's Farm

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.  

 

I returned home feeling totally relaxed after such a pleasant day with a peck of gorgeous Empire and Fuji apples and a bag of heavenly apple cider donuts. 
 

Making apple walnut Bundt cake  

 
I have a ton of apple recipes and it was hard to decide which one to start with. This Bundt cake is really quick and easy and the post was in need of updating, so I gathered the ingredients and preheated the oven. 
 
 
 
Need a quick and easy dessert? You'll love frosted apple walnut Bundt cake with grated apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and walnuts or pecans.Apple Bunt cake uses grated apples. Though you won’t bite into chunks of apple in this cake, you will definitely notice the apple flavor as it blends with the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. 
 
Don’t like walnuts? Substitute with pecans or leave the nuts out all together. You can also toss in raisins. Leave the cake plain, sprinkle the top with confectioners sugar or drizzle on a light glaze frosting.
 

Preparing the apples for apple walnut Bundt cake

 
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a 10-inch fluted Bundt pan by greasing and flouring. I find spraying the pan with Baker’s Joy spray works the best for me and I never have to deal with the nightmare of sticking.

    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:)
