Apple Cream Cheese Bundt Cake with Prali..

My boyfriend and I finally had the chance to go apple picking this past weekend. But where did all of the apples go? I guess we should have gone earlier in the season because most of the trees were bare. One woman told us to head over to braeburn apples, insisting that they were great for baking. There were definitely tons of braeburn apples left to pick, but we were the only people on that side of the farm. No wonder she wanted us to head over in that direction.
 
Either way, my boyfriend found some good braeburn apples to pick. He did a great job climbing trees and finding apples for me to bake with. Then we walked around the rest of the farm and found a few more apples to pick. Definitely not a lot of good choices though.
 
In the end, I made the most of our braeburn apples and whipped up this apple cream cheese bundt cake with praline frosting. I had been eyeing this recipe for a long time and am glad I finally had the opportunity to make it. The cake is packed with chopped apples, pecans and a thin layer of cream cheese filling. It is the perfect cake to celebrate fall flavors. Hope you enjoy friends!
