Ingredients
Scale

- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (198g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (213g) brown sugar
- ¾ cup (149g) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (255g) applesauce, sweetened or unsweetened
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½–3 cups diced apples, cut into ¼-inch chunks
- ½ cup (107g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp milk
- ⅔ cup (76g) powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly.
- Peel, core, and dice apples into ¼-inch chunks, needing about 2.5-3 cups.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
- Gradually add half of the dry mix to the wet mixture, stirring gently.
- Incorporate the remaining dry mix and diced apples, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for about 60 minutes, checking for over-browning and covering with foil if necessary. Bake a total of 70-80 minutes.
- Cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure to grease and flour the bundt pan well to prevent sticking.
Use a toothpick to check for baking doneness; it should come out clean from the center.
Optional: serve with powdered sugar or a drizzle of icing for added sweetness.
