Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • cup apple sauce
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • 1 medium apple coarsely shredded
  • 3 pieces eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • 3 tablespoons salted butter melted
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a standard-size Bundt pan. (Or use a spray that has flour included - otherwise, the cake will not remove easily.)
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the apple cider, apple sauce, brown sugar, white sugar, olive oil, eggs, and vanilla. Add, then stir in the shredded apple.
  • Then add the apple cider mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. (When you don’t see any more flour, stop - do not overmix). Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. The top should bounce back when lightly pressed.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then remove from the pan.
  • Mix together the ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to create cinnamon sugar.
  • Brush the cake with melted butter and sprinkle on the cinnamon-sugar mixture. You may need to press the cinnamon-sugar mix onto the cake to help it stick on the sides.
  • If you would like to add a glaze to your cake, just whisk together 2 cups of powdered and 3 tablespoons of cider (add more cider a tablespoon at a time depending on if you want a thinner glaze) and pour over your cake or use it as a dipping sauce.
