Apple and Walnut Bundt Cake

I love fall and the aromas of the fall kitchen. The scents of cinnamon and cloves permeate the house and ready the senses for the sprees of holiday cooking that lie ahead. The cooler weather is invigorating and surging energy forcibly retires the slow and measured pace of summer. One item on the list of things that must be done is our yearly hunt for apples. Actually, it's more like a forray than a hunt, but it demands at least one day be spent in an orchard picking apples. Lots of apples. I'm convinced that this sweat equity sets my cooking efforts apart from those who let others do the picking for them. Fortunately, my family loves apples and, I know that our harvest, however large, won't last long enough to spoil. I make this bundt cake every fall. It's not my favorite apple dessert, but it's really delicious, and because it's not frosted, it's wonderful to tote from one place to another. It's really easy to make and is always well received. I thought you might enjoy it. Here's the recipe.
