Fresh Apple Pie Bundt Cake

Fall is the perfect time for this delectable treat. Apples are in season!

I doubled the recipe and made both a cake and a bread loaf. It’s great either way. My bread loaf didn’t even get cooled before it was gobbled up by the fam, so no pictured bread loaf today. We LOVE this stuff.

As you can see it’s a knockout as a cake! I made a few changes to the original recipe. I prefer a healthy oil so I suggest coconut oil because it’s SO good and flavorful in baked goods. OR Heart healthy Avocado oil is another good option. It won’t add any noticeable flavor to the cake at all.

I reduced the amount of vanilla and added the other half in as almond extract. Almond is amazing with apples. I think you’ll love the flavor enhancement.

This bundt cake, as you can see, is almost like a pie inside it’s so moist and brim full of apples. The delicious streusel drizzled in and on the cake top under that delicious glaze adds fresh apple pie flavor. The rich creaminess of cream cheese and a lightly sweet glaze add the final touch of unique  perfection.

Fresh Apple Pie Bundt Cake Baking Tips:

How to make the bundt cake look like the picture above on the inside:

  • Sprinkle about one quarter of the streusel in a circle around the pan lightly.
  • Add about half of the batter over the streusel.  Now pour the remaining streusel over the batter.
  • Take a knife and press the streusel into the batter (I made a trench for this)
  • Add the remaining batter over the top of the streusel and bake as directed. Delicious!
