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. Aim for 2.5-3 cups total for even baking.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add half of the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Incorporate the remaining dry ingredients and diced apples, mixing just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 60 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Bake an additional 10-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure even baking by cutting apple chunks uniformly.
You can use either sweetened or unsweetened applesauce based on preference.
If desired, top the cooled cake with a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
