🥣 Recipe Pro Tips

Grease & flour like a pro – Use a non-stick baking spray with flour (or butter + flour) and get into every crevice of the Bundt pan. Let the cake cool 10–15 minutes before flipping—too soon and it sticks, too long and it won’t release.
Embrace the thick batter – It’s supposed to be almost cookie-dough stiff before adding apples. Stir by hand with a sturdy spoon (no mixer needed)—this keeps the cake dense, moist, and full of apple-pecan chunks.
Pick the right apples – Use firm, slightly tart varieties like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji. Dice into ½-inch pieces for even baking and juicy bursts in every bite. Avoid overly soft or mealy apples.
