How to Make Apple Nut Cinnamon Bundt Cake With Brown Sugar Glaze
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Make the glaze:** In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup heavy cream.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the glaze is smooth (about 1 minute).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Drizzle the warm glaze over the cooled cake.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
