Cake:

• 5 ounces dried apple rings
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 10 ounces fresh cored apple grated (about 2 medium)
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1-1/2 cups butter room temperature

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice

Cake Drizzle:

• 1-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar

Prep the Fruit:

• Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with Baker’s Release spray or grease and flour pan, tapping out excess flour.

• Place dried apple slices in a cup and cover with boiling water; let soak 15 minutes then drain.

• Place drained dried apples in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade and pulse until well chopped.

• Place chopped apples in a bowl and set aside.

• Place cranberries in the food processor and pulse a few times until finely chopped then add those to the dried apples.

• Remove the chopping blade and fit the food processor with the spindle and large grating wheel.

• Core the fresh apples and discard those cores. You don’t have to peel (yay!)

• Turn on the food processor and drop pieces of apple through the chute and grate.

• Add the grated apple to the dried apple and cranberry mixture.

Cake Batter:

• Place the soft butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle.

• Run until smooth then add eggs one at a time with the mixer still running. Mix in vanilla.

• Add remaining ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and apple pie spice) until mixture is thick but well-blended.

• Fold in the bowl of apples and cranberries.

• Spread batter evenly in the pan.

• Bake in a preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until cake batter is no longer wet.

• Cool in the pan 15 minutes, then turn out of the pan and finish cooling on a wire rack.
