I created this cake by revamping a basic bundt cake recipe. It is full of apples,spice, pecans, cream cheese, and has a mild pumpkin flavor. It is a very moist delicious cake. I also topped it off with a glaze with Pecans. My family loved this cake. I Am adding this to my Fall favorites list. I hope you all enjoy it!
