Apple Bundt Cake

This cake is quite possibly one of the best desserts for the upcoming holidays! It’s a brown sugar based cake, packed with cinnamon and apples. This cake is cooked at a lower temperature which allows the apples to cook slower, resulting in soft delicious apple pieces through out the cake. Once the bundt cake is baked, allow it to cool and dust with powdered sugar. It’s such a simple and easy cake making it the perfect addition to your holiday brunch spread.

Ingredients in the Apple Bundt Cake

1. Granny Smith Apples: This recipe calls for 3-4 small OR 3 medium size granny smith apples. It’s best to use cooking apples such as granny smith because they are slightly tart and won’t be overly sweet when added with sugar.
2. Brown Sugar: Brown sugar will help keep the cake moist, not overly sweet but adds delicious flavor to the apple bundt cake. It also helps give the cake it’s beautiful deep brown color.
3. Granulated Sugar: White sugar is added to provide the perfect amount of sweetness to the cake and to offset the tartness of the apples.
4. All Purpose Flour: The all purpose flour is used to provide structure to the cake.
5. Baking Soda: Baking soda is used to help the cake rise and to also provide a light and fluffy crumb.
6. Cinnamon: Provides the perfect amount of spice to the cake.
7. Vegetable Oil: Keeps the cake perfectly moist, resulting in a tender crumb. Think melt in your mouth cake!
8. Sour Cream: Also adds to the moisture of the cake and helps activate the baking soda.
9. Vanilla Extract: Provides a delicate warm flavor to the apple Bundt cake.
10. Eggs: The eggs help give the cake it’s structure and also helps keep the cake moist.

How to make the Apple Bundt Cake
