1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp allspice
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar

3 cups apples, peeled and chopped
½–1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Glaze (Optional):
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk or cream
½ tsp vanilla or maple extract

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10–12 cup bundt pan.
Whisk dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
In another bowl, beat eggs, sugars, oil, and vanilla until smooth.

Spoon batter into pan. Bake 55–65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool 15–20 minutes in pan. Invert onto rack and cool completely.
