  • Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Cake

  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 1½ cups (327 g) vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced

Caramel Glaze

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons heavy cream, room temperature
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch bundt pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Combine wet ingredients. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined and slightly thickened.
  3. Combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  4. Mix wet and dry. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the cake.
  5. Fold in apples. Gently fold the peeled, cored, and diced Granny Smith apples into the batter by hand until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour batter and bake. Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cake. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely while you prepare the glaze.
  8. Prepare the caramel glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter, heavy cream, and light brown sugar. Stir occasionally as the mixture heats and comes to a gentle boil, ensuring the sugar fully dissolves.
  9. Add vanilla and thicken. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the glaze sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly before applying.
  10. Glaze the cake. Drizzle the warm caramel glaze evenly over the cooled apple bundt cake before serving to add a rich, sweet finish.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs and heavy cream are at room temperature for better incorporation and a smoother batter and glaze.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
  • The caramel glaze can be reheated gently if it thickens too much before serving.
  • Use Granny Smith apples for tartness and firmness that hold up well during baking.
  • Allow the cake to cool properly before glazing to prevent melting or running glaze.
