Ingredients

Apple Pie Bundt Cake

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 3 cups organic all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups organic cane sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp apple pie spice
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 4 large organic eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, at room temperature (can substitute with whole milk or other plant-based milk)
  • 2-3 cups organic apples, diced (about 2 medium apples)

Sautéed Apple Topping

  • 2 Tbsps salted butter
  • 1/4 cup organic brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsps apple pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-3 cups diced organic apples

Simple Spiced Glaze

  • 2 cups organic powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp apple pie spice
  • 3-4 Tbsps unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Make the Sautéed Apple Topping: In a medium 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the brown sugar, apple pie spice, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until combined and bubbling lightly, about 1-2 minutes. Add the diced apples and toss to coat them in the mixture, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the apples are tender and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard Bundt cake pan with butter or oil and lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon apple pie spice until evenly combined. Set aside.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and cane sugar together with a hand mixer on high speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond milk, mixing thoroughly.
  6. Combine Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth, lump-free, and thick yet easy to stir, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Assemble the Cake: Spoon the cooled sautéed apple topping evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. Pour the cake batter evenly over the apple topping, spreading gently to cover.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick or butter knife inserted around the cake comes out clean. Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
  9. Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for at least 1-2 hours in a cool place until completely cooled. Then carefully invert and remove the cake onto a cake stand or serving dish.
  10. Prepare the Spiced Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, apple pie spice, and 3-4 tablespoons of almond milk until the glaze is smooth and has a pourable consistency.
  11. Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, generously drizzle the spiced glaze over the entire cake.
  12. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake and serve with optional caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. Bon Appetit!

Notes

  • For the apple pie spice, you can use a store-bought blend or make your own by mixing cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
  • Use firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure all wet ingredients and eggs are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter and even baking.
  • Letting the cake cool completely before glazing helps prevent the glaze from melting and sliding off.
  • Storage: Keep leftover cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated up to a week. It can also be frozen wrapped tightly for up to 2 months.
