Apple Bundt Cake

Cake Batter

3 c. flour

3 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 c. sugar
1 c. oil
4 eggs
2-1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 c. orange juice (I used apple cider)
1 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Filling
2 c. apples (about 2 med.), peeled & diced
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Grease bundt pan & set aside.

Mix flour, baking powder & salt. Set aside. Beat sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla & juice at high speed until well combined. Add dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. Fold in nuts. Prepare filling by combining apples, cinnamon & sugar in a bowl or plastic baggie.

Place 1/3 of batter into prepared pan & top with 1/2 the apple filling. Continue layers ending with batter.

Bake 50-60 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or top with icing after cooling slightly.
