Description

This moist apple Bundt cake with layers of cinnamon-spiced apples and crunchy walnuts in every bite is the perfect homemade treat for fall.

Ingredients

2 cups apples - peeled, cored and diced
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup orange juice
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan. Combine diced apples, 1 tablespoon white sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl; set aside. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
2 Combine 2 cups white sugar, oil, orange juice, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer at high speed until smooth. Stir in flour mixture. Fold in chopped walnuts.
3 Pour 1/3 of the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the apple mixture. Alternate layers of batter and filling, ending with batter.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
