Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake

Ingredients:

2 eggs

4 cups diced apples (we used Fuji apples - we needed about 8 Fuji apples)

Instructions:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2.  Grease and lightly flour a bundt pan
3.  In a large bowl, beat oil and eggs on medium until foamy

8.  Bake 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.

Mark's Story:
Abby's birthday occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic stay-home-stay-safe rules.  For her birthday, she wanted me to make her this cake.  I had never made a bundt cake before.  Abby has made a bundt cake over and the bundt cake pan is actually hers.  So, for her birthday, I made this.  It was good.

Mark's Notes:

We used Fuji apples as we like Fuji apples.  You can use whatever types of apples you want.

Then when I flipped over, the flip side was very floured.  When I greased the Bundt cake pan, the instructions are too lightly flour.  I actually don't know how much "light flour" is but I probably used too much given that the outside was covered in baked flour.  It was still good.  Next time I try this recipe or a Bundt cake pan recipe, I will use a lot less flour.
