Double Apple Bundt Cake

This cake is made with both applesauce and diced Granny Smith apples.  We used a chunky applesauce, but feel free to experiment with your favorite style.  The cake is wonderfully moist and aromatic, and makes a nice afternoon snack with a cup of creamed tea, or a tasty evening dessert.

  3. I'm a sucker for any baked good made with apples, especially the kind with big juicy apple chunks like this one. This is going into the must-try pile for sure, especially since I have some applesauce in the freezer that ought to get used soon-like.
