Notes

1.Bake for 1 hour 20 mins first. Check whether cake has done. If you need more crusty then bake for another 10 mins. Do not worry if your cake burnt or color turns dark. This apple cake should be crust like.

First time i baked this cake for 1.30 mins and believe me my cake was yummy ,crusty and more tasty. Since my cake for little dark and can't shoot photos. So this time i baked 1 hour in 325 degree F and 1/2 hour i baked in 250 degree F. I achieved the color and beautiful bundt shape but my cake was not crusty. Cake tasted good. Though my last time baked coconut apple cake was burnt little bit  the taste was hmmm.. yummy!.mouthwatering . I would prefer to bake for 1 hour 30 mins for sure. Crusty Apple cake ! Always serve chilled.

For making concentrated orange or pineapple juice : First boil orange or pine apple with required amount of water. cool it and blend it.
