Delicious at coffee hour, a nice cake to bake on a snowy afternoon with crisp fall apples still in the crisper. Yield: 1 bundt cake Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a bundt pan. Sift together into a large bowl: flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Peel and dice 4 cups of apples. Add melted butter, eggs, and orange juice to dry ingredients. Stir in apples. Drop batter into bundt pan. Bake at 325°F for 1 1/2 hrs. or until cake starts to pull away from the sides of the pan slightly. When done, the cake will spring back to touch. Serve warm or cold with ice cream.
