Apple Bundt Cake Recipe

• FLOUR – Any brand will work. 
• GROUND CINNAMON – Gives our cake that comforting zest that works so well with the apples. 
• BAKING SODA – A leavening agent that gives this cake it’s soft, fluffy texture. 
• SALT – It’s always import to use salt when baking to offset the sweetness of the cake. 
• GRANULATED SUGAR – We use a combo of white and brown sugar for the perfect balance of sweetness. 
• BROWN SUGAR – 
• UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE – Make sure you use unsweetened in this recipe. 
• VEGETABLE OIL – Baking with oil helps keep this Bundt Cake ultra moist. 
• EGGS – If possible, let you eggs come to room temperature before using them. 
• VANILLA EXTRACT – We always recommend using a high quality vanilla extract in all baking recipes. 
• DICED APPLES – Make sure they are peeled. See below for some of the best apples to use in this recipe. 
• POWDERED SUGAR – Also called Confectioner’s Sugar. It’s combined with the water to make your icing. 
• WATER – For a thicker, richer icing, you can combine the powdered sugar with half and half or heavy cream. 

Storage and Freezing

Store your Apple Bundt Cake in an airtight container at room temperature. You cake should stay good for about 4-5 days. You can freeze Apple Bundt Cake. I’d let the cake fully cool and slice into individual servings. Wrap in freezer wrap or a freezer bag and it will be good in your freezer for 3-4 months. You can thaw at room temperature. 

What Are The Best Apples To Use When Baking?

When making an apple Bundt cake, it’s best to choose apples that have a balanced sweet-tart flavor and hold their shape well during baking. Some apple varieties that work well in apple Bundt cakes include:

1. Granny Smith – These tart apples provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of the cake and hold their shape, adding a pleasant tanginess to each bite.
2. Honeycrisp – Known for their sweet and slightly tart flavor, Honeycrisp apples add a wonderful natural sweetness and a crisp texture to the cake.
3. Jonagold – Jonagold apples are a great choice because they offer a nice balance of sweetness and tartness and hold up well in baking, maintaining their texture.
4. Braeburn – Braeburn apples have a sweet-tart flavor profile and maintain their shape when baked, making them a good choice for adding both flavor and texture to your Bundt cake.
5. Fuji – Fuji apples are sweet and slightly crisp, making them a delicious addition to the cake, especially if you prefer a sweeter flavor profile.
6. Gala – Gala apples are sweet and aromatic, which can enhance the overall sweetness and aroma of the cake.

It really is all up to what your preferences are. You can even mix and match apples for a more complex flavor profile!

 Notes, Tips and FAQs

• LET THE CAKE COOL – Make sure you let you cake fully cool before adding your icing. 
• PREPARE THE BUNDT CAKE PAN – Make sure the pan is well greased before adding your batter. 
• ADD NUTS – This cake would taste great with some walnuts or pecans in it!
• USE A DIFFERENT GLAZE – Substitute the icing for a caramel or a maple glaze. 
• BOOZY APPLE BUNDT CAKE – Add a splash of rum, brandy, or apple brandy to the batter for a delightful boozy kick. You can also soak dried fruits like raisins in the alcohol before adding them to the cake.
