You need big chunks of apples to make a good Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake. I like my to see the apples when I slice off a fat piece of cake to go with my morning coffee.
One of my twin sisters gave me the Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake recipe. The Family usually requests Great Aunt Rose's Pound Cake about once every couple of weeks. This week I replaced that old standby with a new cake that is a nod to all the fall apples around these days and still has a little bit of a pound cake taste to it.
I don't think they were disappointed with the new bundt cake on the cake stand. It was gone within a day and a half.
Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake
3 large MacIntosh apples, peeled and sliced in thick pieces
2 1/4 cups sugar, divided
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup apple juice
6 large eggs, beaten
In a large bowl, combine apple slices, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10-cup bundt pan with cooking spray and dust with flour. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine remaining 2 cups of sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well and pour in oil, vanilla, apple juice, and eggs. Stir to just combine the ingredients and the flour mixture is incorporated.
In the bundt pan, put about one-half of the batter and top with the apples making sure they don't touch the sides of the pan. Top with the remaining batter. Bake for about 1 hour or until the top of the cake is golden brown. A long skewer should come out clean when inserted into the cake.
Cool on a baking rake for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the pan and invert cake on a platter.

Ooh.. love the chunks! Nothing like biting into a nice apple chunk :)
Your apples are so perfectly centered! Mine always sink to the bottom.
I don't think that I've used my bunt pan since Christmas of 2006. :-) I love the fact that your cake tastes like pound cake. What a great combination.
this cake is awesome, awesome, and more awesome. it looks incredibly moist and if i can actually see the cinnamon, i know it's good stuff. bravo. :)
This looks awesome! Do you think a streusel topping would be too much?
That's a beauty of a cake--it looks so light and fluffy and I love the big chunks of apple in the middle.
Really pretty! I love those apples tucked inside!
