Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake

Ingredients

For the cake

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar (it calls for light brown, but I used dark brown, and I really liked that)
• 4 large eggs
• 6 medium apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 inch (keep from turning brown with a little lemon juice squeezed on the slices) or 4 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 inch (keep from turning brown with a little lemon juice squeezed on the slices)

For the glaze

• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons water (I used apple juice, yum!)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350, and prepare the 12 cup bundt pan (grease and flour if you don't have a non-stick).

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave, and add brown sugar and eggs, whisking until smooth.

4. 4

   Gradually whisk in dry ingredients just until combined- don't overmix.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (about an hour).

7. 7

   Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, and invert onto a rack placed over wax paper to cool completely.

8. 8

   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.

9. 9

   Drizzle glaze over completely cooled cake, and let it firm up before serving.
