How to Make Apple Temptation Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and chop 4 medium apples (about 4 cups). In a medium bowl, toss the apples with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons cinnamon schnapps. Set aside.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat for 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the drained apples and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Make the glaze:** In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, and 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons cinnamon schnapps.
- Pour the warm glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Sprinkle with extra chopped nuts, if desired.
