Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Packed brown sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 cups Fresh apples (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
• 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan thoroughly.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the applesauce, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped apples and optional walnuts or pecans with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bundt cake, letting it drip down the sides.

Step 12

Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
