Golden Delicious Apple Bundt Cake

I tried this recipe out today and it turned out really good!

Ingredients:

3 golden delicious apples (about 1 lb.) peeled, diced

1 c. pecan pieces

1/2 c. sugar

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

4 large eggs

2/3 c. canola oil

2 1/4 c. sugar

1 c. applesauce

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

3 c. all purpose flour

3 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Use a baking spray (with flour and oil) to grease your bundt pan.

Core apples and dice into 1/4 inch pieces.  Put diced apples, pecan pieces, 1/2 c. sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.  Stir to blend and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, sugar, applesauce and vanilla together. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.  Slowly beat dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture until well blended.  Stir in the diced applesauce mixture.  Spoon into the prepared pan.  Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until wooden pick inserted comes out with a few crumbs clinging.  Cool in pan on a rack for 15 minutes.  If necessary, carefully loosen the sides with a spatula.  Put the rack over the pan and carefully invert.  Cool completely.

Slide the cooled cake onto a serving plate, or to be safe, place the baking pan over the cake again, flip with the rack, then cover with a serving plate and invert again.

Good by itself or topped with caramel glaze.
