Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups (420g) all purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (198g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (213g) brown sugar
- ¾ cup (149g) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (255g) applesauce, sweetened or unsweetened
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½–3 cups diced apples, cut into ¼-inch chunks
- ½ cup (107g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp milk
- ⅔ cup (76g) powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously grease a bundt pan with butter and flour.
- Peel and core the apples, then cut them into ¼ inch chunks.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Incorporate the remaining dry ingredients along with the diced apples, mixing just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60 minutes; if the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil and continue baking an additional 10 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a mix of different apple varieties.
Make sure to allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
Sifted powdered sugar can be used for a smoother glaze if desired.
