Place in the pre-heated oven for 90 to 105 minutes. When a toothpick is inserted, it should come out clean.
Allow the apple cake to cool for about 10-15 minutes before removing from the bundt pan. Allow to cool completely on a wired rack.
Dust with powdered sugar if you prefer.

Notes
TIP: Be sure to do this step first as the longer you let the apples and sugar sit, it will create a “glaze”.
