Mini Spiced Apple Bundt Cakes
Recently sifting through Aunt Betty’s little gold box stuffed with bits and pieces of old recipes I came upon an apple cake recipe calling for a couple of fresh chopped apples. Of course, the apples required peeling and coring first.
With more than a couple of apples sitting in the crisper box it seemed easy enough to put together as a nice weekend treat for my grandson, the J-Dude.
Having identified 4 mini bundt tins stuffed in the back pantry corner I decided on a little twist for the recipe from the little gold box baking up these Mini Spiced Apple Bundt Cakes. Strikingly, The recipe yielded exactly 4 mini bundts.
With just a little crunch of crust on the outside and moist apple pieces inside then sprinkled all over with some confectioners sugar, you could even cut one in half and enjoy it. Though after taking one bite you may like I, quickly decide to go back and snatch up the other half since that little crunch on the outside and moist apple pieces on the inside then sprinkled all over with some confectioners sugar, is so darn good.
Welcome fond memory you never knew you had, maybe you did, maybe you didn’t, the only certain non-illusion surrounding the Mini Spiced Apple Bundt Cakes is that once you’ve enjoyed one, only 3 remain.
