Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 3 cups shredded apple
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 4 heaping tablespoons of apple butter

For the Caramel Glaze

  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F and liberally grease your Bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside
  • Peel, core and shred enough apples to fill three cups. Add to a mixing bowl along with the eggs, sugars, canola oil and buttermilk. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Add four heaping tablespoons of apple butter to the batter and using large sweeping motions, swirl the apple butter throughout the batter.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then tip the cake out onto a wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
  • When the cake is cool, make the glaze. Add the butter and sugar to a skillet and stir until the butter is melted. Add the whole milk and stir some more. Cook the caramel until it is a nice deep brown color. Remove the caramel from the heat and immediately pour it into a glass bowl to cool.
  • Let the glaze cool for about 3-4 minutes, then pour it over the Bundt cake making sure to fill the large grooves in the cake.
  • Let the cake and glaze set for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
