This Apple Bundt Cake has been a family favorite for years, one that my great-grandmother used to make! I would ask her, “How do you make a bundt cake, Grandma?” And she would lean in with a gleam in her eye and whisper, “You just stand by me and I’ll show you!”
How to Make an Apple Bundt Cake
There are a couple important things to remember when making a bundt cake. Make sure you start with a good recipe (one that fits in a bundt pan!) that has been tested and perfected. The other is your pan. Because this cake has big chunks of apples the batter will not mold perfectly in some of the bundt pans with more intricate designs. A classic bundt pan should work perfect!
This recipe has been handed down through the generations and definitely stands the test of time. I remember Grandma sending us into the yard to gather up apples so we could bake this cake! And standing by her in the kitchen as she would slowly stir the caramel. Sometimes, if I was good, I even got to drizzle her famous caramel sauce over the cake!
Best Apple Bundt Cake Recipe Reviews

Tips, Tricks, Variations
This cake could also be called an Apple Cinnamon Bundt Cake as we certainly packed in the cinnamon flavor! One thing that could really put this recipe over the top is using McCormick’s Apple Pie Spice. Simply substitute it for the cinnamon in this recipe.
How to Ice a Bundt Cake
Frosting this cake could not be easier. Simply prepare the caramel sauce recipe as directed, then pour over the cake. A couple variations are waiting 15 minutes to pour the caramel. It will be nice and thick and holds it’s shape. If you pour it immediately, it will soak into the apple bundt cake and do magical things. Both are delicious!
Thanks so much for supporting the companies that I work with. McCormick is an amazing company with amazing products that fit perfectly into every celebration!

OMG, first of all, I love this website and have found SO MANY desserts I want to bake. So I started last night with 2 cakes. First I made your cream cheese pound cake. My receipe uses butter cc and margarine baked in a tube pan, so I wanted to try this with buttermilk and bundt pan. Is is amazingly delicious. I also baked the apple bundt cake and at first the oil, eggs, sugar etc mixture was scary but the end result a delicous moist decadent delight especially good while warm. Next Im trying the heath bar cupcakes. thanks for this site.

I’m not wanting to put 1 1/2 cups of oil in anything. Is there a substitute?
Any chance there’s a sugar free recipe for this cake? It’d be great to find a low carb desert for people with diabetes.
The Apple Bundt Cake looks so good & yummy!!! Can you use the same recipe for a tray of mini bundt cakes? Is one full size cake equal to one tray of 6 mini bundt cakes?
This is a new family favorite!
Looking forward to making this for a couple of up-coming occasions. Looks magnificent. Thanks!

Love looking at your recipes! !
Looks wonderful
I made this cake, but your video says 350* and the recipe says 325*.
My cake stuck to the bottom of the pan.
This Apple Bundt Cake has already been requested for next Rosh Hashanah, I did use some no sugar applesauce in place of half of the oil, and Equal baking blend as a substitute for the sugar as there are several in this group that ordinarily do not eat sugar.
