Quick Apple Bundt Cake

1 box yellow cake mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 4 ounce package instant vanilla pudding
1 cup milk
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
4 apples, peeled, sliced thinly and tossed with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a standard bundt pan and set aside.

Beat together the cake mix, pudding, cinnamon, oil, milk and eggs until smooth, approximately 3 minutes.

Pour 1/3 of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Scatter 1/2 the apples over the batter. Top with another third of the batter and then the rest of the apples. Pour the remainder of the batter on top of the apples and smooth with a spatula.

Bake for about 50 minutes until the cake looks cooked and springs back when pressed gently.
Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then unmold onto a wire cake rack,

Let cool completely before sprinkling with powdered sugar.

Makes about 16 servings.
