How to Make Apple Fritter Cake
- **Make the Apple Filling:** Combine diced apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and apples are softened. Cool completely.
- **Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:** Mix 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
- **Preheat & Prep:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- **Cream Butter & Sugar:** Cream together 1 cup softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- **Add Wet Ingredients:** Beat in 1 cup applesauce and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- **Combine Wet & Dry:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the yogurt in two parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- **Layer the Cake:** Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cooled apple filling evenly over the batter. Sprinkle 2/3 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apples. Top with the remaining batter.
- **Sprinkle & Bake:** Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Make the Glaze:** While the cake bakes, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2-4 tablespoons milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- **Glaze the Cake:** Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, carefully pour the glaze over the hot cake, ensuring even coverage. Let cool completely before serving.
