Description

This Fresh Apple Cake is moist and delicious and full of texture! It’s perfect for fall and better-for-you because the oil is replaced with applesauce.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups Mott’s® Applesauce
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 cups fresh apples, cut into small cubes (I used 2 large Granny Smith apples)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans + a extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend the applesauce, sugar and eggs together until smooth.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, then mix again until well combined.
  4. Next add in the vanilla extract and mix again.
  5. Chop your apples, then mix those and the nuts into your batter.
  6. Prepare a bundt pan. I spray mine with cake pan release or you could use a homemade version. Pour the batter into the pan then spread it out evenly.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes and test for doneness. The outside will be browned and crispy – the inside soft and moist!
  8. Flip out onto a cake plate to cool, then drizzle with caramel sauce and garnish with more chopped pecans.
