Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon, ground
1 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 c vegetable oil
4 c fresh granny smith apples, peeled, cored and diced (approx. 2 -3 large apples)
GLAZE
3/4 c light brown sugar
1 1 stick butter ½ c. evapora
1/2 c evaporated milk
1/2 c chopped nuts (walnuts or pecan
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

1. Cake: Sift together flour, sugar, soda, cinnamon and salt. Add eggs, oil and apples. Mix well; it will be thick.
2. Spread evenly in tube pan (ex. bundt or angel food cake pan) spritzed with cooking spray. Bake at 325 for 1 hr and 15 minutes.
3. Glaze: Mix sugar, margarine and milk in saucepan and boil 2 minutes. Add nuts and vanilla. Pour over cake.
4. Let the cake set in the pan about 5-10 minutes. The minute I take it out of the pan, I pour the glaze over the hot cake and continue spooning it over the cake.
5. Note: Mini bundt - If you decide to make a mini-bundt, like I did, the baking time can be reduced to about 25 min. Just keep an eye on them!
