Ingredients you'll need

Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. You'll find the full measurements and instructions in the recipe card (printable) at the bottom of the page.

Ingredients Notes

• Sugar - You will need light brown sugar and granulated sugar.
• Oil - I typically use vegetable oil in baking; however, you can also use canola oil.
• Eggs - Eggs act as a binder and add moisture to your cake.
• Vanilla extract - I always use pure vanilla instead of imitation when baking.
• Flour - You will need all-purpose flour; measure carefully so you don't have a dry cake.
• Spice Cabinet - You will need baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to add rise and flavor to the cake.
• Apples - Granny Smith apples are great for cooking.
• Butter - Unsalted butter will help make your homemade caramel sauce.
• Heavy cream - This adds a rich and creamy flavor to your homemade caramel.

Adaptable recipe – make it your own!

• You can add chopped nuts to the batter for an extra crunch.
• Top with powdered sugar before serving, and serve the caramel sauce on the side.
• You can also add a cream cheese swirl to the cake batter if your family is a fan of cream cheese.

Your questions answered: FAQs

My notes

• Don't overmix the cake batter; overmixing can give you a tough, dry cake. 
• This is a generous amount of caramel sauce (about 1 ¼ cups), I usually pour half of the mixture and serve the other on the side for anyone who wants more.
• If the caramel sauce still has clumps, strain through a fine mesh strainer when done.
• Time-saving tip: You can use store-bought caramel sauce, heat it up a little in the microwave, then pour it over the cake.
• The cake is done baking with a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake and comes out with a few moist crumbs. Don't overbake this cake. 
• When it comes to baking cakes, I like to use baking spray or to grease and flour my 10-cup bundt pan to prevent the cake from sticking. 

Storage

Storage - Store this cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you don't have a cake plate, you can cover it tightly with plastic wrap to keep it fresh. 

Freezing - You can also freeze this fresh apple cake; I like to freeze slices by wrapping them in plastic wrap and then placing the slices in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to three months, and thaw at room temperature for an hour before enjoying. 

Reheating - If you prefer warm cake, microwave your slice for 20-30 seconds until it's warm.

Make Ahead

• You can choose to make the homemade caramel sauce ahead of time. Just keep it in your refrigerator until you are ready to use it. The caramel sauce may thicken when chilled, so you can reheat it before pouring it over your apple bundt cake. 
• To reheat the caramel sauce, you can put it in a microwave-safe dish and microwave in short bursts of 30 to 60 seconds stirring each time.

Perfect pairings: what to serve with

• Caramel apple bundt cake goes well with your favorite tea or coffee.  Try it with this Karak tea, milk tea or creme brulee latte.
• If you are not adding the caramel sauce, you can choose to add a touch of Chantilly Cream or condensed milk ice cream.
