Ingredients

  • 3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 cups fresh granny smith apples peeled, cored and diced (approx. 2 -3 large apples)

Glaze:

  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 stick butter 1/2 cup
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts walnuts or pecans
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

Cake:

  1. Sift together flour, sugar, soda, cinnamon and salt. Add eggs, oil and apples. Mix well; it will be thick. Spread evenly in tube pan (ex. bundt or angel food cake pan) spritzed with cooking spray. Bake at 325 for 1 hr and 15 minutes.

Glaze:

  1. Mix sugar, margarine and milk in saucepan and boil 2 minutes. Add nuts and vanilla. Pour over cake.
  2. Let the cake set in the pan about 5-10 minutes. The minute I take it out of the pan, I pour the glaze over the hot cake and continue spooning it over the cake.

Notes

Mini bundt - If you decide to make a mini-bundt, like I did, the baking time can be reduced to about 25 min. Just keep an eye on them!
