  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

For the Caramel Glaze

Instructions

For the Cake

  • Preheat oven to 325, and lightly grease a fluted pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine oil, applesauce, yogurt, and sugars. Mix together until well combined.
  • Beat in eggs and vanilla until creamy.
  • Pour mixture into dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Do not over mix here.
  • Fold in apple chunks.
  • Spoon mixture into prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. It may be necessary to cover the edges of the cake with foil towards the end to avoid over-browning.

For the Caramel Glaze

  • Melt butter over medium heat
  • Stir in brown sugar, vanilla and cream and whisk together until fully mixed.
  • Bring mixture to a boil, stirring often.
  • Let boil for 1 minute with no stirring.
  • Reduce heat and let simmer 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly to thicken (about 2 minutes)
  • Whisk in powdered sugar (sifted) and mix until smooth.

Assembly

  • Remove the finished apple cake from the bundt pan and place it on a wire rack to cool.
  • Spoon the caramel glaze mixture on top of the finished cake.
  • Let it finish cooling before slicing and serving.

Notes
