Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh apples, peeled and diced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for caramel glaze)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed (for caramel glaze)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for caramel glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for caramel glaze)
  • Pinch of salt (for caramel glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dust with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the diced apples using a rubber spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  7. Transfer the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Let it gently simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  10. Once the cake is fully cooled, spoon the caramel glaze over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides.

Notes

Let the cake cool completely before adding the glaze to ensure it adheres properly. Store leftover caramel glaze for drizzling over ice cream or pancakes.
