How to Make an Apple Spice Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a bundt pan with cooking spray or grease with butter.
  • In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar and eggs until smooth.
  • In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the flour, spices, salt and soda. Add to the butter mixture one cup at a time, mixing after each cup.
  • To the batter add the applesauce and mix until well combined. Fold in the chopped apples and pecan pieces.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Place a plate over the bundt pan and turn the pan upside down to remove the cake from the pan.

How to make Caramel Glaze

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Add in the sweetened condensed milk and cream and bring to a boil. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the caramel turns a golden color.
  • Remove from the heat and add the vanilla.
  • Drizzle over the Apple Spice Bundt Cake.
