Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 30 mins
Yields: 8 - 10 Servings

Ingredients

2 cups flour

¼ teaspoon salt

3 teaspoons cinnamon, divided

½ teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ cup softened butter

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

8 ounces sour cream

2 medium apples, peeled & chopped (about 2 cups)

8 tablespoons walnuts or almonds, chopped (optional)

½ cup brown sugar

Directions

1Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit, and grease bundt pan with nonstick spray.

2Combine flour, salt, nutmeg and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon in a medium bowl. Stir in baking soda and baking powder, and set aside.

3Mix softened butter and sugar in a separate mixing bowl until a creamy consistency forms. Beat in eggs, one at a time, combining until creamy. Add vanilla and sour cream, and mix until well blended.

4Sift in dry ingredients, beating the mixture on low speed to form a batter-like consistency. Fold in the nuts and apples, stirring gently to evenly distribute.

5Pour the batter into bundt pan. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6Turn cake onto serving plate after cooling in pan for 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
