Tube pan vs bundt

[sabg]

I am not much of baker but making an apple cake ....can I use a bundy when is calls for a tube PA

Generally, yes.  If the apple cake recipe has larger chunks of apple then you might expect some gaps if you choose a bundt pan with a very intricate design.

Apple cakes can be VERY sticky.  Mr. Kim makes one and if I don't remind him to line the bottom of the tube pan with parchment paper it is STUCK.  If you decide to go with a Bundt pan, make sure to grease and flour it VERY well.  Best of luck!!!

Pro tip: A stiff paint brush works very well for that.

Bundt pans transfer heat better than tube pans when making very dense, fruited cakes.  

There is a "forumla" for a "grease" for these pans that works very well.  

I make it in batches and store in the fridge and I apply it with a fairly stiff brush - more recently I use a silicone brush.

Vegetable Oil ½ Cup (120ml)        (I use rice bran oil)

Solid Vegetable Shortening 1 Cup (226g)  (for this only Crisco works)

All Purpose Flour 1 Cup (130g)

Dump it all in a mixing bowl and blend with a hand mixer.  You can do it in food processor but believe me, it is more difficult to get it all out.

It will keep at room temp for a week or so - keeps well in the fridge for a couple of months. 

Next month, when I begin preparing for holiday baking, I will prepare a double batch.
