Cranberry Apple Pecan Bundt Cake is a moist, seasonal dessert filled with tart cranberries, sweet apples, and crunchy toasted pecans. Baked in a Bundt pan, it’s perfect for fall gatherings, holidays, or a cozy slice with coffee.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups apples, peeled and chopped (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • Powdered sugar or glaze (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add oil and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended.
  5. Fold in the chopped apples, cranberries, and toasted pecans.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze if desired.

Notes

  • If using dried cranberries, soak them briefly in warm water to plump before adding.
  • Swap pecans for walnuts or almonds based on preference.
  • Add 1–2 tsp orange zest to brighten the flavor.
  • For a richer topping, use a cream cheese glaze instead of powdered sugar.
  • Whole wheat flour can be substituted for part of the all-purpose flour for a heartier texture.
