Recipe type: Fall Dessert
Serves: 16-24
Ingredients
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canola oil, melted butter, or melted Crisco
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups grated apple, Granny Smith or your favorite apples
  • CARAMEL GLAZE:
  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan generously with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a 2-quart mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, vanilla, and eggs for 1 minute. (You can use a hand mixer if you prefer.)
  3. Add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Switch from a whisk to a fork and stir until well combined. Be sure to make sure you are getting the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  4. Next, add in the grated apples. Stir until they are evenly distributed.
  5. Pour cake batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
  6. Let cool completely. You can do this at room temp or in the fridge or in the freezer. (I like to use the freezer because it locks more moisture into the cake.)
  7. When the cake is cooled, carefully remove the cake from the bundt pan and place it on a cake stand or large serving plate.
  8. Prepare the caramel glaze by adding the butter, brown sugar, and milk to a 1-quart saucepan.
  9. Over medium-high heat bring the mixture to a boil and allow to boil for 45 seconds. Remove from heat and immediately pour over the bundt cake. Depending on the type of cake stand or plate you are using, you may want to put some wax paper or tinfoil under the plate or cake stand if you think some of the glaze might drip off.
  10. Serve and enjoy!
