Ingredients:  
2 cups (about 170 grams) dried apples
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup sugar

2 tablespoons (14 grams) cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
3-1/2 cups (420 grams) all-purpose flour, sifted
2 cups (400 grams) sugar
1 cup (226 grams) salted butter, softened
2 cups (about 350 grams) raisins
2 cups (about 200 grams) chopped pecans
Directions:
Directions:
Lightly grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup Bundt style pan. Set aside. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 300º.

Rinse and drain dried apples. Add to a small pot with water. Cook on low for about an hour, or until ALL the liquid is absorbed apples are tender. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking. Mash the apples with a potato masher until it’s slightly thicker than the consistency of apple butter, then add 1/3 cup sugar and stir until combined. Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir in raisins and chopped pecans; set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Stir in cooled apple mixture, then stir in flour mixture, mixing just until combined.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
