Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake

Follow me!

Yesterday a few of the girls got together to hang out, eat brunch, and do a puzzle. We all sipped pumpkin spice coffees and many of us wore flannels, because it’s October and why would we be doing anything else in October? Our potluck-style brunch consisted of potato casserole, fruit salad, Oreo balls, mini quiche, and Mexican bean dip (the turkey sausage was forgotten about in one our backpacks until we were almost done eating, so no turkey sausage was had). It may have been the most random and disjointed brunch spread we’d ever seen, but it didn’t really matter, because as we justified to ourselves over and over again, anything goes for brunch, and that’s what makes brunch so fantastic.  For dessert after brunch (yes, dessert time came directly after brunch, without a moment’s pause in between), we cut into the Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake.

The Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake was my contribution to our pre-puzzle morning meal. The idea struck me the other day when I was putting away dishes and spotted my bundt pan tucked away, behind all my other loaf pans and baking sheets. I had gotten it way back in April, with the goal to bring more bundt cake to people’s lives. I felt like people these days aren’t eating enough bundt cake and I wanted to change that. Bundt cake is totally underrated and I’m not quite sure why this is so. They’re always really delicious and they tend to be quite attractive as well. From coffee cake to double chocolate, the bundt cake options are pretty much endless. After doing a little bundt cake research, I learned that it originated from the German word Kugelhupf, meaning a ring-shaped coffee cake. How fun is that? If more people knew that Kugelhupf was the real name for bundt cake, I feel like people would generally be more excited about it. Anyway, I got my bundt pan because wanted to learn how to make some great ring-shaped cakes, and then I totally forgot about it. Thinking back to the last few months through which I’ve owned this pan, I think I maybe made one bundt cake. So when I was deciding what to make for brunch and I spotted my poor little under-utilized bundt pan, I knew what had to be done.

This Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake has over a pound of Honeycrisp apples in it. It’s crumbly and moist and it’s covered in a cream cheese glaze. I have a lot to learn when it comes to glazing a bundt cake and the aesthetics of it all, but it complimented the tartness of the Honeycrisps nicely, and the chopped pecans on top added a nice crunch to the whole experience. This recipe is beyond perfect for this time of year. Whether it’s for your dessert after weekend brunch, or for an afternoon snack along with a hot cup of tea , this Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake is one kugelhupf you don’t want to miss.

    According to my study, after a the foreclosure home is marketed at a sale, it is common to the borrower to still have some sort ofthat remaining balance on the mortgage. There are many financial institutions who aim to have all charges and liens paid by the future buyer. Having said that, depending on certain programs, legislation, and state laws there may be some loans that aren’t easily solved through the exchange of financial loans. Therefore, the responsibility still remains on the lender that has got his or her property in foreclosure. Many thanks sharing your opinions on this web site.

    I’ve learned new things through the blog post. Also a thing to I have recognized is that generally, FSBO sellers will reject you. Remember, they will prefer to not use your companies. But if you maintain a stable, professional romance, offering help and staying in contact for four to five weeks, you will usually be capable to win a business interview. From there, a house listing follows. Cheers
