Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 cups diced apples (about 3 apples, peeled)
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons milk, divided
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and flour a bundt pan or apply baking spray. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add softened butter and blend until crumbly. Incorporate eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and milk, beating the mixture for 3-4 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, combine diced apples with light brown sugar and cinnamon, then fold this mixture into the cake batter.
- Pour the prepared cake batter into the bundt pan and bake for 55-60 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cake plate to cool completely.
- For the glaze, combine light brown sugar, butter, and 4 Tbsp of milk in a saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium until boiling, stirring constantly, and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, allowing it to cool for 15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled sugar mixture, powdered sugar, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Pour over the cooled cake and let it set for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Ensure the apples are peeled and diced evenly for better incorporation into the cake.
Let the cake cool fully before adding the glaze for a smooth finish.
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature.
