Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Prep the Fruit:
Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with Baker's Release spray or grease and flour pan, tapping out excess flour.
Place dried apple slices in a cup and cover with boiling water; let soak 15 minutes then drain.
Place drained dried apples in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade and pulse until well chopped.
Place chopped apples in a bowl and set aside.
Place cranberries in the food processor and pulse a few times until finely chopped then add those to the dried apples.
Remove the chopping blade and fit the food processor with the spindle and large grating wheel.
Core the fresh apples and discard those cores. You don't have to peel (yay!)
Turn on the food processor and drop pieces of apple through the chute and grate.
Add the grated apple to the dried apple and cranberry mixture.
Cake Batter:
Place the soft butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle.
Run until smooth then add eggs one at a time with the mixer still running. Mix in vanilla.
Add remaining ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and apple pie spice) until mixture is thick but well-blended.
Fold in the bowl of apples and cranberries.
Spread batter evenly in the pan.
Bake in a preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until cake batter is no longer wet.
Cool in the pan 15 minutes, then turn out of the pan and finish cooling on a wire rack.
Finish:
Mix together ingredients for drizzle and spoon over the cake.
Then sprinkle with the finely chopped pecans.
