I am so over the heat and ready for Fall! Cooler temperatures. Autumn breezes. Leaves turning a vibrant array of colors before softly falling to the ground. Pumpkins. Cinnamon. And, of course, apples. Fresh, crisp apples. I am so ready for Fall that I whipped up a Fresh Apple Bundt Cake for Sunday dinner.

Fresh Apple Bundt Cake combines apples, coconut, & nuts baked together in a buttery cinnamon cake. No glaze, drizzle, or powdered sugar needed!

Two more recipes that gives me the Fall feels are Applesauce Cupcakes with Cinnamon Buttercream and Oatmeal Coconut Pecan Date Cookies!

Cooking Tips

I recommend mixing Fresh Apple Bundt Cake by hand with a large spoon. If you choose to use an electric mixer and your stand mixer has a low setting for folding ingredients, do not use it. Fold the apples, coconut, and nuts in by hand.

When testing for doneness, this cake needs to checked in multiple places around the cake. If you find that one side is not as done as the other, gently turn the pan 180° to allow for an even distribution of heat.
