Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 350F, Brush a 10 cup bundt pan with extra softened butter, sprinkle with extra sugar and tap out excess. Stir together the flour, nutmeg, pecans, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Step 2
Shred apples with skin on in a food processor or with a box grater. In a mixer cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat until fluffy. Stir in the apples and the flour mixture until completely combined. Spoon into prepared pan and smooth top.
Step 3
Bake until a wire skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the cake pulls away from the pan, 1 hour and 10 minutes. Tent cake with foil for the last half hour of baking to keep it from getting too brown. Let cool on a wire rack about 20 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely.
Step 4
Cake can be made a day in advance; allow to cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap at room temperature.
