These luscious little apple cakes say “autumn” with every bite. Made with sweetly tart apples fresh off the tree, spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a delightful cider glaze.

Why try? This is a dessert just about everyone will love and it makes a wonderful presentation.

Foodie byte: You may choose to serve it whole, or with a small wedge cut out to display a generous dollop of whipped cream cascading down the center (as shown in the photo).

 

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 sticks butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups peeled, cored, and chopped Granny Smith or McIntosh apples (about 2 large apples)
  • For the Cider Glaze:
  • 4 tablespoons butter, unsalted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Preparation

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • 2
    Grease a Bundt pan with oil. In medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg and set aside.
  • 3
    In large bowl, blend sugar and butter. Add eggs and milk and beat until well combined.
  • 4
    Add dry ingredients to sugar mixture and stir until just blended. Fold in apples. This makes a very thick batter.
  • 5
    Press batter evenly into prepared mini Bundt pans and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • 6
    For the Cider Glaze
  • 7

  • 8
    Reduce heat slightly and cook for 4 minutes.
  • 9
    Remove from heat. Pour while still warm over warm cakes.
