Here’s a cake that’s low in real sugar and dense like a bread but very sweet and has all the cinnamony-apple goodness that a crisp fall day calls for. Serve this with a hot cup of great black coffee and a little low-fat butter and you’ve the answer to a lot of people’s prayers!

Heavily grease, sugar and flour your Bundt or Angel food cake pan and then layer like this…dollops of the cake mix smoothed out and topped with a thin layer of the Apple/Cinnamon mix, then another dollops and smoothed out layer of the cake mix topped with remaining Apple Cinnamon mix, making sure the apples are pressed down into the batter.
