I've been making the littles some apple muffins lately, which they love, but I've been wanting to make something with pumpkin instead. However, I've been stuck in a rut and just haven't found a recipe that I've wanted to try. Sure, I have my stand-by recipes, but I wanted something new. I can't believe I hadn't checked one of my favorite baking books ( Baking From My Home to Yours , by Dorie Greenspan ) before now. A quick look at the index, and I found what I was looking for, All-in-One Holiday Bundt Cake. It really does have it all: pumpkin, apples, fresh cranberries, and pecans. Perfect! I even had all the ingredients, since I had picked up some cranberries on a whim at the grocery store this week. I decided to let all the kiddos help me, and they were excited to. Let me warn you though, I would prep the pecans, cranberries, and apples ahead of time if you're going to be making this with kids, especially young ones....
