Apple Walnut Bundt Cake with Cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 10 inch Bundt pan with butter or baking spray, making sure you get every inch of the center tube.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
4. Whisk until the batter is smooth and velvety, but stop immediately once the flour disappears. Note: Overworking the gluten leads to a rubbery cake
5. Toss the diced apples and chopped walnuts with one tablespoon of the flour you already measured out.
6. Gently fold the fruit and nut mixture into the batter using a spatula until evenly distributed.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with your spatula.
8. Bake for 55–65 minutes until the edges pull away from the pan and a skewer comes out clean.
9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping it onto a wire rack.
10. Mix the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla for the glaze and drizzle it over the cooled Apple Walnut Bundt Cake.
