Rebekah’s Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake is filled with tart apples and fall spices showcasing the warm, comforting flavors of the season.
It’s pumpkin spice season, y’all! I mean, fall. Bring on the granny smith apples, the bright orange pumpkins and multi-colored gourds, the cooler weather, football season and pumpkin spice everything. Lattes, coffee creamer, candles…oh my.
In the fall, there’s always something baking in my oven. Nothing beats the aroma of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger, and the trickle of a good cup of coffee brewing on a crisp morning. Scarves and boots come out of the closet, along with autumn decorations, and the scene is set to kickoff the holiday season. Coffee cakes, pumpkin cookies and the county fair come to mind. During this season, I often make a big batch of chili and cornbread, and invite folks over to sit around an outdoor fire pit. While the weather in Statesboro is sometimes uncooperative, we can always hope for the best. The cinnamon apple bundt cake recipe I’m sharing with you today is fall on a cake stand. Filled with chunks of tart Granny Smith apples, it’s tender, sweet and makes for a beautiful presentation. Dusted with confectioners sugar, it bakes up to a stunning golden brown and fills the home with tempting aromas. You don’t need a special occasion to whip up this cake. It’s the kind I love to have on my countertop when neighbors or friends pop in for a visit.
Chopping the apples instead of shaving them gives this cake great texture.
Serve it for breakfast with hot coffee or brunch with mimosas. It’s perfect for dessert after dinner or on the porch in your rocking chair for a midday snack. There’s never a bad time to eat something Some Kinda Good!
If you make one of my recipes or have a cooking question, I’d love to hear from you. Send me an email at SKGFoodBlog@gmail.com. Happy fall, y’all!
