If you crave the comforting warmth of cinnamon and the sweet tang of apples baked into a moist, dense cake, this Delicious Apple Bundt Cake is your dream come true. It offers the nostalgic taste of fall, yet it’s just as welcome any time of year. Imagine the buttery scent wafting from your oven, the slices still warm and tender, and each bite infused with soft apple chunks and spiced sugar perfection.


Perfect for a cozy brunch, a holiday dessert table, or just because, this cake is incredibly versatile and easy to whip up. A drizzle of vanilla glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar takes it to the next level, but it’s rich enough to stand alone. Let’s dive into what makes this bundt cake an all-time favorite.
What Kind of Apples Work Best for Apple Bundt Cake?
Firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith hold their texture beautifully while baking, giving a nice contrast to the soft crumb. You can also mix in a sweeter variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji for a balanced flavor profile. Avoid overly soft or mealy apples, as they can make the cake mushy.
Ingredients for the Delicious Apple Bundt Cake
Apples: The heart of this recipe. Freshly chopped apples provide moisture and flavor in every bite.
All-Purpose Flour: Forms the structural base of the cake.
Granulated Sugar: Adds the essential sweetness that balances the tart apples.
Brown Sugar: Deepens the flavor with molasses richness and helps keep the crumb moist.
Vegetable Oil: Gives the cake a tender, moist texture.
Eggs: Provide structure and richness.
Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor.
Cinnamon & Nutmeg: These spices bring warmth and a touch of complexity.
Baking Soda & Salt: Essential for leavening and flavor balance.
Chopped Nuts (Optional): Pecans or walnuts add a lovely crunch.
How To Make the Delicious Apple Bundt Cake
Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a bundt pan generously with butter or baking spray to ensure the cake releases cleanly.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until well blended.
Step 3: Blend the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Combine and Fold
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold in the chopped apples (and nuts, if using) until evenly distributed. The batter will be thick.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
Step 6: Glaze or Dust (Optional)
Once cooled, drizzle with vanilla glaze or dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

How to Serve and Store Apple Bundt Cake
This cake is fabulous served slightly warm or at room temperature. For a cozier treat, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months—just thaw and reheat gently.
