Sift together in another bowl 3 c flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, and add to the creamed mixture.

Stir apple mixture lightly.

Pour ⅓ batter into pan, then ½ apples, ⅓ batter, ½ apple and, finally ⅓ batter.

Use greased and floured 12 cup Bundt pan. Bake at 325°F for 60 minutes or until cake is brown and tests done. Cool in pan 10 to 15 minutes. Turn out on wire rack or plate to complete cooling.

Notes

I have an 8-cup bundt pan. I made ½ a recipe and it was great. I used 2 Granny Smith apples and 1 Macintosh. Good choice.
