Apple Fritter Bundt Cake




Ingredients for apple filling:

3 apples, cored, peeled and chopped

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp clove

1/8 tsp nutmeg

2 tsp cornstarch

2 Tbsp water

Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan and cook on medium heat until apples start to soften. Set aside


Ingredients for brown sugar mixture:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

a sprinkle of clove and nutmeg

Mix all together and set aside.


Dry cake ingredients:

2 1/4 cup flour

tsp baking soda

tsp baking powder

tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

Mix all together and set aside.


Wet cake ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup softened butter

1/2 cup applesauce

1 cup greek yogurt or sour cream

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla


Cream together sugar and butter. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Add in dry cake ingredients and mix just till combined.


To assemble the cake:

Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on the bottom of a well sprayed Bundt pan. Layer half of the cake batter over this. Pour apple mixture over cake batter then sprinkle with remaining brown sugar mixture. Top with remaining cake batter. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. When done, let cool for around 5 minutes before removing cake from the pan. Let cool completely before adding the glaze.


Glaze ingredients:

100 grams of powdered sugar

2 Tbsp water

Mix together well and drizzle over cake


NOTE: I added some maple flavoring to the glaze because I love the combination of maple and apple!

Well, I made this cake as a surprise for a friend with whom I was having lunch the next day, and it came out beautifully. It was on the kitchen counter, cooling off enough so I could frost it. When I thought it was ready I went into the kitchen to make the glaze and finish it...but it wasn't there... The cat I adopted from that nice Muslim lady committed jihad on it - it was on the floor, smashed to bits. 😢

I didn't have enough apples to make another one for her, so I just made a simple coffee cake. I will say this, however - the apple filling was wonderful, and rather than buy canned apple pie filling that has that nasty HFCS in it when I need it for a cake or pastry I'm making, I'd use the filling recipe from this cake instead.
