Debbie's Notes:

I love this cake in fall but its good anytime of the year. Its a dense cake but its very moist.The tartness of the apples , all the spices and the slight hint of the citrus from the orange compliment eachother nicely.It has a slightly crisp outside and the inside is moist and full of apples and pecans. I really like it for breakfast with a cup of coffee but its good anytime of day.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

I swear that the autumn leaves began to fall just as I pulled this delicious cake from the oven. What a wonderful way to welcome in the season!!

Directions

Prepare bundt pan(butter and flour or bakers joys) and preheat oven to 325

Begin mixing sugar , eggs , oil, and orange juice. Then slowly add all of the dry ingredients. Add apples and pecans last. This batter should be very thick and dense.

Pour batter in bundt pan and bake for 1 hour and 15min or until tester comes out clean.

Turn cake onto a plate and allow to cool

Mix glaze to the consistency you would like it

Drizzle the cake with the glaze and enjoy

My sister lives in Jonesborough,TN. I sure do LOVE it there!!! I live in Biloxi, MS and I have the same problem Debbie. I can not wait for the cooler weather!!

I have a recipe using mincemeat and don't really want to make it so I am hoping to be able to wait until it comes out in the stores. That is also a sign that fall is approaching.

Have any of you been to Hobby Lobby lately? I can't believe that they already have christmas decorations and product up!! I don't think I will shop there until it is actually Christmas season. I LOVE Thanksgiving and the world just pushes it past. It's so sad.
