Apple and Cream Cheese Bundt Cake

The apple cream cheese Bundt cake has always been my favorite. Not only me, but my family, friends, and even the neighbors also love when I cook it and send it over. Everyone keeps asking me how do I make it and why does it taste so soft. The one thing we all fall for is the caramel topping on top. I prefer to make it with pecan toppings as it is the perfect thing it goes with the cake. You can use any other type of nuts you like including almonds and walnuts. Moreover, top it with some sprinkles if you like as kids do not like nuts in their cake.

In summers when you are tired from the heat and you need something cool and yummy, try this delicious dessert. The caramel pecan topping is the hit in my house where everywhere keep on waiting and ask me to make it soon. Today, I will be sharing that recipe with you so you can enjoy the cool and yummy flavors of apple crisp in your cake even on a hot day. For all the cheesecake fans, this is going to be a special treat for you that you will not regret making at all.
