This Autumnal beauty delivers nothing bundt love. Apples meet up with our Apple Pie Spice for a cinnamon spiced cake just waiting to be devoured. Pecan Oil works perfectly in this dessert delivering the perfect, moist crumb. We pair up Pure Vanilla Extract and Pure Maple Extract and have them go to work to coax sweetness and flavor from the apples and spices. The result is a big cake with big flavor. Perfect for dessert. Even better the next day for breakfast.
