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)
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons milk, divided
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Grease and flour a bundt pan or use a generous amount of baking spray. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add softened butter and beat until crumbly. Incorporate eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and milk; beat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mix diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. Fold this mixture into the cake batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the cake is golden brown. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before flipping onto a cake plate to cool completely.
- For the glaze, in a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and 4 tablespoons of milk. Heat over medium until boiling and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Let it cool for 15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sugar mixture with powdered sugar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat for 2 minutes until smooth. Pour over the cooled cake and let set for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done; it should come out clean.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
