Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped apples (about 3 medium apples)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and applesauce.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts, if using.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add a tiny bit more milk if the glaze is too thick.
  10. Drizzle the brown sugar glaze over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor contrast.
  • You can substitute pecans for walnuts if preferred.
  • This cake stays moist for several days when stored tightly covered at room temperature.
