Mini Apple Bundt Cake Recipe

Homemade Apple Bundt cakes are great, but Mini Apple Bundt Cakes are even better!  They’re perfect for entertaining or sharing a bit with your neighbors.  Don’t you love how baking up something like this makes you house smell all yummy and cozy?  This recipe will have neighbors knocking on your door as the smell drifts down the road…it’s true.

It’s an easy recipe that looks like a million bucks when your done.  That works for me.

 

 Gather a bunch of apples and bake up a batch or two of these today.

Mini Apple Bundt Cake Recipe

• 1 1/2  cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 1/2 cup apple or 2 apples
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup walnuts {crushed}
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 cup orange juice
• 1 1/4 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp salt

Cut up the apples into small pieces.  In a small bowl combine the apples, cinnamon and half the sugar.  Stir together and set it aside.

In a large bowl combine the rest of the sugar, vegetable oil, orange juice, vanilla, and eggs.  Mix together until blended.  Stir in flour, baking powder and salt.  Mix well.  Add in apple mixture and crushed walnuts.  Mix again…I used a hand-held mixer.

This recipe works perfectly with my mini bundt pan {that I seriously love}.  This pan makes anything bake up pretty!  You should be just the right amount to make 6 mini bunt cakes.

Do not grease the pan…there’s no need.  Fill to about the 2/3 point in each section.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until the center is springy when you touch it.  {Very professional lingo, right?}

Once they cook, let them cool in the pan for 5-7 minutes.  Then just flip them over and they should pop out.  Just awesome!  I use these lovely cooling racks to help out.   Don’t they look pretty just like this?!

Let them cool for a bit and the add some glaze…

 Glaze Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter {softened}
• 3 Tablespoons Milk
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Use a 2 quart sauce pan and bring the brown sugar, milk and butter to a boil over medium heat.  Boil for 2-3 minutes.  Keep whisking it so it doesn’t burn.  Remove it from the heat.  Add the powdered sugar and vanilla.  Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and slightly thick.  Pour right away over your Mini Apple Bundt Cakes.  Yum!  Sprinkle extra walnuts on the top if you wish.

 That’s all there is to it…easy & yummy!

Do you make bundt cakes often?  They always seem so homey and inviting to me.
