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 the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 10 to 12 cup bundt pan with butter and flour.
- Peel, core, and dice the apples into ¼ inch chunks, aiming for about 2.5-3 cups total.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
- Add half of the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until combined.
- Incorporate the remaining dry ingredients and diced apples, mixing gently until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 60 minutes, then check for doneness, covering with foil if it browns too quickly. Continue baking an additional 10 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Be sure to peel and core the apples for the best texture in the cake.
You can add nuts or raisins for extra flavor if desired.
Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or your favorite glaze for added sweetness.
