Croatian Kuglof With Apples Recipe (Apple Bundt Cake)

This kind of cake is made all of the globe, known under dozens of names – but they all taste great and even better – they are all so easy to make.  I am not a baker, I don’t love cooking very much – I love eating, but this cake is one exception. 

Croatian Kuglof With Apples

Because it’s so easy and can be made in one bowl, using simple ingredients, and requires no complicated steps. My mother-in-law Zora makes this recipe without even looking at a recipe, but I pinned her down so she’d give me the recipe so I could make this for my kids.

Note: This cake dries fast, so it’s best eaten the day you make it. Which, in my house, is no problem!
