For the cake, grease and flour bundt pan (or use a generous amount of baking spray). Set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the topping. Line a layer of apple rings in the bottom of the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle with cranberries. Pour brown sugar mixture over fruit and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add in softened butter and beat until crumbly. Beat in eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and milk. Beat for 3-4 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
Pour cake mixture into prepared bundt pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes until browned. Allow to cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then flip onto a cake plate and cool completely.
Slice and enjoy! Store at room temperature, covered, for freshness.

Notes
You can choose to lay the apples flat or place them vertically in the bundt pan grooves. Both ways look beautiful!
SPRAY your pan. Do not be skimpy. You are making a gooey brown sugar caramel sauce and unless you want to lose the entire top of your cake, spray the pan. And then spray it again. Or use my Homemade Cake Release!
Store this cake at room temperature, covered. It’s delicious with a scoop of ice cream or some fresh whipped cream too!
