GRANNY SMITH APPLE BUNDT CAKE

We swear that the autumn leaves began to fall just as we pulled this delicious cake from the oven. This is a dense and moist Bundt cake with apples in every bite. It seems like there is too much oil, but the amount works perfectly in the recipe. We love the slight citrus flavor with the apples and fall spices. Drizzling the glaze (that has a hint of orange) is just right. You'll find excuses to make this cake year-round but it's the perfect cake for fall.

GRANNY SMITH APPLE CAKE

Slightly modified version of a recipe in Everyday Food magazine. This cake is SO good, especially while it's still warm (or reheated). Great for breakfast. Or topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. I choose Granny Smith apples for their tartness and because they hold their shape after baking. The apples come out completely soft after baking. I love the tartness of the apples mixed with the sweetness of the cake. Optional: Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts if desired. Note: The original recipe called for 1/2c of butter, but I reduced that to 1/4 and added in 1/4 applesauce to lower the fat in the recipe. You won't even miss the extra butter at all.

GRANNY SMITH APPLE CAKE

Granny Smith Apple Cake image

This recipe is modified from one published in the Cedar Rapids Gazette back in the early 1990's. Like all "Cake-Mix" cakes, it is a breeze to prepare, but it looks and tastes like you labored in the kitchen for hours! It is lovely topped with either vanilla or cinnamon icing and goes great with a fresh cup of coffee. It also keeps very well.

Pour half the batter into the Bundt pan and spread evenly around the bottom.
Layer apple slices evenly all over the batter, then gently spread the rest of the batter on top of the apple slices.
Spread this layer of batter evenly so that it"seals" the apples inside the cake.

Tips:

For a moist and flavorful Granny Smith apple bundt cake, use fresh, crisp apples. Granny Smith apples are ideal for this recipe due to their tart flavor and ability to hold their shape when baked.
Before adding the apples to the batter, toss them in a mixture of flour and cinnamon. This will help prevent the apples from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

This Granny Smith apple bundt cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tartness of the apples pairs perfectly with the sweet, buttery cake. The glaze adds a touch of sweetness and shine. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
