Melt-in-Your Mouth Apple Bundt Cake

1 Betty Crocker Golden Vanilla cake mix

2 tablespoons flour

1/ 2 cup oil

3 eggs

1 cup water

5-6 medium cooking apples, peeled and sliced

3 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1/ 2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar

whipped topping

caramel sundae syrup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Oil and flour a Bundt pan; tap out excess flour.

Stir cake mix and flour together in a large bowl; add eggs, oil, and water; mix well. Pour a little more than half of cake mix into bottom of Bundt pan; distribute evenly. Place apple slices on top of batter, all around the ring. Sprinkle about three-fourths of the combined sugars over the apples. Spoon remaining batter evenly over apples and sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Bake for 38-42 minutes, until a skewer inserted from the side to the center comes out clean and cake is just beginning to pull away from sides of pan. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack until pan is cool enough to handle. Use a narrow rubber spatula to gently loosen cake from sides of pan. Place a cake plate over top of pan and invert to release cake onto the plate. Serve with whipped topping and caramel syrup. Makes 10-12 servings.
