apple bundt cake

<em>Tender and moist homemade apple bundt cake smothered in a buttery brown sugar glaze. Your new favorite cake for the crisp fall weather.</em>

Glazed Apple Bundt Cake

(375 grams) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)

baking soda

cinnamon

nutmeg

salt

(300 milliliters) canola or vegetable oil

(120 grams) plain yogurt

(250 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar

(100 grams) granulated sugar

eggs,

Tablespoon pure vanilla extract (yes, 1 full Tablespoon)

medium apples,

(190 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar

unsalted butter

(120 milliliters) heavy cream

(62 grams) confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 10-12 cup bundt pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, yogurt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until combined and creamy. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and slowly whisk until no large lumps remain. Try to avoid over-mixing. Carefully fold in the apple chunks. If you feel 3 large apples is too much, feel free to cut down to 2 apples. I like a lot of apple chunks in my cake!

Spoon/pour the thick batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 55-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean. The baking times may vary depending on your oven, if you used a 10 cup bundt pan or 12 cup, or if you used less apple chunks. Keep your eye on the cake after 55 minutes. Feel free to cover the cake loosely with aluminum foil about halfway through to prevent heavy browning on top. Allow the cake to cool in the pan set on a wire rack, then invert onto a serving plate once cooled and ready to serve.

Brown sugar glaze

As it cools, prepare the brown sugar glaze. Combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring the mixture often. Without stirring, allow to boil for 1 minute, then turn the heat down to low and allow to simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in the sifted confectioners&#8217; sugar. Allow glaze to cool and slightly thicken for at least 5 minutes. Spoon glaze over the cake right before serving. If your glaze thickens up too much before serving the cake, warm in the microwave for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.

I like this cake warm, at room temperature, and even cold. Cover leftovers and store at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Flavor is outstanding on day 2!

Absolutely delicious and a big hit with all who try. About to make my second one in a week for a gathering this weekend! Also I LOVE the bundt pan you recommended. I want to make everything in it, lol.

I work at a Elementary school and for the past 3 years we have celebrated National Bundt Cake Day in our break room! We hold a contest and everyone samples all the cakes that staff members have made and vote on our favorite one.  This has become a fun event for us and we look forward to some yummy desserts! I followed this recipe and brought the brown sugar glaze in a mini dip crockpot and had them put the warm glaze on each individual piece....that was the "icing on the cake!" (pun intended)!  I won 1st place!! :)
Your recipe was great! Thanks!!

I have made this cake several times and it is always a hit and I always am asked for the recipe. I substituted 1/4tsp pumpkin pie spice for half of the ground nutmeg and it added a nice additional autumn flavor. One of our favorite cakes.

Not a very moist cake. Flavor is good but dry.

Full proof recipe!!! Can't wait until tomorrow morning's coffee!

This Bundt cake turned out so well! I used 3/4 cup oil and 1/2 cup apple sauce and reduced the brown sugar to 1 cup. 2 apples gave me 3 cups (cut small) as well. Thanks for this delicious, easy recipe and for all the substitution options!

We look forward to this apple cake every summer and make it when September starts. Great with a hot cup of coffee. I love the apple bread from your cookbook too Sally! Thanks for the great recipes.

Incredible cake! We used honeycrisp apples. The cake had great flavor and was easy to make. The glaze was delicious!!

Absolute perfection!  I made this amazing cake last evening utilizing Honey Crisp apples.  I used the amount called for in the recipe and at first glance, thought perhaps I was using too many.... I was so wrong!  The volume of apples is just right!  I did make one adjustment because I was completely out of yogurt and sour cream.  I did have heavy cream on hand, so I created clotted cream by adding 1-1/2 tsps of cider vinegar and enough heavy cream to measure 1/2 cup as called for in the recipe.  The cream clotted well and was a great substitution.  Instead of the glaze, I used Sally’s recipe for caramel sauce and drizzled it (still warm) onto the cake just before serving.  This cake is fantastic and highly recommended!

Without a doubt this cake is a family favorite and the most requested fall cake recipe I prepare.

I truly appreciate your generosity in the sharing of your recipes.

I made this cake today and it turned out really good. Great flavor and moist cake, the glaze is the star though... thanks again Sally. My family and I enjoyed this one.

This is incredible!! So moist, such a lovely spiced flavour, and the GLAZE! I want to put this on every cake I make from now on.

Seriously amazing Apple Bundt Cake that you will want to make again and again!

Caramel Glaze

Apple Cider Donut Bundt

¾ cup (385 grams) all purpose flour

½ teaspoon (6 grams) baking powder

(3 grams) baking soda

(7 grams) salt

(4 grams) cinnamon

½ teaspoon (2 grams) nutmeg

(210 grams) granulated sugar

(115 grams) light brown sugar

eggs (150 grams), room temperature

(200 grams) vegetable oil

½ cup (150 grams) unsweetened applesauce

(240 grams) apple cider, room temperature

(40 grams) unsalted butter, melted

(70 grams) granulated sugar

(5 grams) cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heavily grease a 10 inch bundt pan with cooking spray. This is incredibly important to ensure the cake comes out cleanly when removed from the pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together until combined.

In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, applesauce, apple cider, and vanilla extract together until smooth.

Add dry ingredients to the large bowl of wet ingredients. Use a whisk to combine the batter until the dry ingredients disappear into the wet. Do not overmix, as this will lead to drier, denser cake.

Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown in color, a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the cake cool for 40 minutes in the pan before carefully flipping onto a wire cooling rack or plate to continue cooling.

In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar together.

Brush melted butter on the warm loaf before immediately coating the cake with the cinnamon sugar mixture using your hands. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.

Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

I made this for our Sunday family dinner and it was a hit! So moist and flavorful.

Made this cake today and it’s delicious but would prefer it with no nuts next time. Will that work ok to just omit them?

Took this out of the oven and my house smells amazing! Had to have a piece before it cooled because I just couldn't wait. It is so good!

I love this so much more than caramel apples, This was amazing and came out so good!

Apple bundt cake is the perfect fall dessert. Moist apple cake with perfectly sweet caramel glaze. You’ll love this easy bundt cake recipe!

Caramel Glazed Apple Bundt Cake

This cinnamon bundt cake is packed with chopped apples, swirled with caramel and topped with brown sugar icing. Each bite is a taste of fall!

Caramel Apple Bundt Cake

sour cream

eggs (room temperature)

apples (2-3 apples)

can dulce de leche (or 1 cup of caramel topping)

unsalted butter (melted)

milk

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine oil, sour cream (or yogurt), sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until well combined. Scrape down the bowl once complete.

Add baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix until combined.

Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing between each addition. Once all flour has been added, beat on medium-high until well combined. Scrape down the bowl once complete.

Peel, slice and chop apples into 1-2 cm slices. Fold the chopped apples into the cake batter.

Spray the bundt pan with *baking* spray (Baker&#39;s Joy or Baking Pam Spray) or brush with oil and flour.

Gently spoon 1/3 of the batter into the pan. Place the dulce de leche in a piping bag or ziploc bag and trim a ½ inch tip. Pipe HALF of the dulce de leche around the pan,  taking care to avoid the edges/center of the pan.

Gently spoon another 1/3 of the batter over the dulce de leche. Repeat step above with the remaining dulce de leche (or caramel). Gently spoon the remaining batter over the top.

Use a butter knife to gently swirl the batter around the pan (pressing all the way to the bottom and swirling). This helps distribute the dulce de leche. Only swirl 1-2 times. Do not over-swirl.

Bake the cake for 45 minutes - 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, flip the pan on to a wire rack to remove the cake.

Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before adding the icing.

To make the caramel apple bundt cake

Place the butter in a medium saucepan on low-medium heat.

Add milk, brown sugar and vanilla. Keep on heat for 2-3 minutes or until the sugar has melted, stirring every 30 seconds.

Remove from the heat and add the powdered sugar. Immediately pour it over the cake since it sets very quickly.

Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

To make the brown sugar icing

Tender and moist homemade apple Bundt cake smothered in a buttery brown sugar glaze. Your new favorite cake for the crisp fall weather.

(375 grams) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)

(300 milliliters) vegetable oil

(200 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar

(4 Tbsp; 56 grams) unsalted butter

(60 grams) confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 10-to-12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Spoon/pour the thick batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 55–75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean. The baking times may vary depending on your oven, if you used a 10 cup bundt pan or 12 cup, or if you used less apple chunks. Keep your eye on the cake after 55 minutes. Feel free to cover the cake loosely with aluminum foil about halfway through to prevent heavy browning on top. Allow the cake to cool in the pan set on a wire rack, then invert onto a serving plate once cooled and ready to serve.

Make the glaze

As the cake cools, prepare the brown sugar glaze. Combine the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter has melted, and then stop stirring and let the mixture come to a rapid boil. Boil for 1 minute. Turn the heat down to low, give it a quick stir, and let simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in the sifted confectioners’ sugar. Allow glaze to cool and slightly thicken for at least 10 minutes. Spoon glaze over the cake right before serving. (Cake can still be warm when glazing.) If your glaze thickened up too much as it cooled, warm in the microwave for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.

I have made this several times now for a church potluck.  It makes a big cake and looks so impressive!  And it is delicious too! I used honeycrisp apples the first time I made it and found that because they are a harder apple, they didn’t quite cook to the softness that I like in a cake.  Next time I used cortlands and that was much better.

This is a winner, but I knew it would be since it's got to be the fifth or sixth recipe of Sally's that I've tried. Hubby declared it a keeper as soon he finished his first slice. I did not make the glaze, as we're not that into sugary sweetness (although I'm sure it would have been awesome). As for changes, I reduced the granulated sugar by half and the brown sugar by an 1/8 of a cup, while subbing in 3T of egg white for one of the three eggs. I did use three medium size apples; like Sally says, it's wonderful to have a lot of apple chunks in the cake.  Wonderfully moist and everything a dessert cake needs to be!

This was delicious! I made it without the brown sugar glaze and it was still super moist and delectable. Loved how much apple was in it (I went closer to 380g with 5 small apples). I added 1tsp of apple cake spice, and I also ran out of brown sugar, and subbed about 70g of white sugar. Still super morish.

This is DELICIOUS, thank you. I did replace 1 tsp of the cinnamon with some ginger, but that was the only change. Highly recommend that swap for the rest of us, who don't have as much of a cinnamon fixation as you. Hahaha. Seriously, that's been my only critique of any recipe of yours I've made. SO much cinnamon, all the time. I'll definitely be making this one again in the fall, when all the specialty apples roll out. I used pink ladies, and they were fine, but I think sugarbee or braeburn would be incredible.

I've made this cake for Thanksgiving, family get togethers, as well as for my husband's birthday a handful of times. Every single time it comes out beautifully and I could drink that glaze it's so good! This is a huge family favorite in my household and a bundt cake that I will be making for decades to come.

This cake turned out perfect!  It was not too sweet or too tart.  It was wonderfully seasoned and hit the spot.
