Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Apple Bundt Cake

Versión en español

I love buying second-hand things, and I try to go to all the Estates Sales in my neighborhood, it is usually people who have died and the family wants to liquidate their things. At first, I found it a bit detached and sad that the family would not want to keep things, but now I really like to go, and if I see some old cake pan I buy it immediately.

I bought this one last weekend, and it was clear that the owner of the house own her time must have been a great cook. I suppose she would be glad to know that I will now have one of her pans and it will continue to be used and loved.

Nordic Ware is an old US brand that still exists and is excellent, I recommend it.

This cake has no saturated fats; it has oats and apples, lots of fiber. It is very moist and with a well-balanced flavor.

For kids, muffins with chocolate chips are great snacks. It is very versatile.
