getting to the point

Another stolen recipe...this one's actually from my mom who makes a fantastic apple pie cake. And it's only taken me 3 months to find where my dad had it hidden. We have all reached the point in life, at least in this house, where we are willing to admit to our shortcomings and refuse to make or bake fresh pie crust. There's a line, and pie is just on the other side of it. This recipe definitely gets the "apple pie" point across, with less effort. I'm all about that.

1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg (I always omit it, it's up there with cilantro in tasting like soap)
1/8 tsp cloves
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups chopped apples (don't worry about peeling them)
1/2 cup pecan (usually omitted too, Hill is allergic)

Preheat oven to 350. Mix melted butter with sugar and egg. Add in all other ingredients and mix well (it's going to look like you put too many apples in it..don't worry! it will turn out perfect :) ). Pour into a greased Bundt pan. Bake 40-45 minutes (may need more time, depending on your oven). Serve warm with ice cream.
