    In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, & salt. Set aside.
  • 3
    In large bowl, beat together eggs and sugar, then add yogurt, oil, ground fennel, vanilla, & orange zest. Mix well.
  • 4
    Slowly add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined. Fold in apples, cranberries, and pine nuts until fully incorporated and evenly distributed.
  • 5
    Thoroughly coat 10" bundt pan with non-stick spray(or grease and flour pan well). Spread batter into pan evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes, or until toothpick or knife comes out clean. Let cool in pan for a few minutes, remove from pan and let cool completely on a rack.

    * Ground fennel is difficult to find in stores. Buy whole fennel seeds and grind finely in a spice grinder. ** To toast pine nuts, put nuts in a dry skillet and toast on medium heat for a few minutes until slightly golden brown. Stir often and watch closely as they can turn too brown/burn quickly.
