Notes
You can prepare this as an Apple Cider Bundt Cake in all sorts of different size bundt pans- adjust cooking times as necessary. Instead of a bundt pan, you could also make these into Mini Apple Cider Cakes or Apple Cider Muffins by using a mini-muffin pan. These will bake much quicker- probably around 15 minutes- and taste just as good!
