Apple and Cream Cheese Bundt Cake with Caramel Pecan Frosting

Apple and Cream Cheese Bundt Cake with Caramel Pecan Frosting

 

I think I have finally had my fill of pumpkin recipes for the time being (I’m sure it won’t last long), so I thought I would share a delicious apple recipe! It is apple season after all! In fact, I plan to head to Apple Hill in the next couple of weeks, for some yummy treats and fun! This recipe for Apple and Cream Cheese Bundt Cake with Caramel Pecan Frosting is scrumdiddlyumptious! I love the tender pieces of apple and soft clouds of cream cheese within the cake, and the crunchy pecans combined with the sweet frosting! This recipe was spotted over at Jenny Bakes.
