Three Mini Apple Spice Bundt Cakes.

These Mini Apple Spice Bundt Cakes are a delicious way to use some tasty seasonal apples. With Canadian Thanksgiving right around the corner, I wanted to share something that fit the autumn season.

Baked fresh apple desserts are some of my favourite sweets to make during the fall. I love using warm and comforting spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to flavour my baked goods.

How to make Apple Spice Bundt Cakes

The applesauce and grated apples used in this recipe make a tender and moist cake with a double dose of apple flavour.

Ingredients:

  • All-purpose flour and whole wheat pastry flour
  • Cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg
  • Baking powder, baking soda and salt
  • Eggs
  • Brown sugar 
  • Applesauce, sweetened or unsweetened is fine.
  • Maple syrup
  • Light-tasting oil. I like to use grapeseed oil but you can also use canola oil.
  • Pure vanilla extract
  • Grated peeled apples. I used Honeycrisp apples for this recipe, but you can use your favourite variety or even a combination of apples.

Steps:

A bonus feature about this easy apple spiced cake recipe is that it can be easily mixed by hand.

You'll want to peel, core and grate the apples before you get started with the rest of the recipe.

Gather and combine your dry ingredients in a bowl, and the wet in another. Combine the wet and the dry ingredients and then fold in the grated apples.

I used a mini bundt cake pan that makes six mini bundt cakes for this recipe but you can also use a regular-sized bundt pan (see the recipe card for baking time).

Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean or with a few crumbs clinging to it.

How to serve:

The cakes should be served at room temperature. They're delicious plain but can also be dusted with a bit of icing sugar. And if you really want to dress them up, I included a recipe for an easy cinnamon-spiced glaze you can drizzle on the cakes.

    I see that you use whole wheat pastry flour but can you use regular white flour in same amount?

    While I have several full size bundt pans, I like your mini version with this recipe.

      Thanks so much Karen, I think they’re cute in mini format. Though I realize most people probably don’t have a mini Bundt pan at home so this recipe can be made in one large Bundt pan as well!
