Ingredients of Apple Fritter Cake Recipe:

• 1 cup Oil
• 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
• 1/4 cup Apple Cider
• 2 1/2 cups Flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 3/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 3 cups Peeled Chopped Apples (about 3 large)

Brown Sugar Glaze:

• 6 Tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup Heavy Cream

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• In a larger mixing bowl, combine oil, sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition. Add applesauce and apple cider.
• Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding together until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring even distribution.
• Spread the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. To prevent excessive browning, cover the cake with foil after 25-30 minutes of baking.
• While the cake cools, prepare the brown sugar glaze. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Whisk constantly until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional minute. Allow the glaze to cool.
• Once the cake has cooled slightly, use a toothpick or fork to poke holes throughout the cake. Drizzle the brown sugar glaze over the top, allowing it to soak in. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes.
• Serve the Apple Fritter Cake with vanilla bean ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures in this indulgent treat!

Notes:

This recipe is inspired by the Mom’s church cookbook. When selecting apples for baking, opt for firm, sweet, yet slightly tart varieties. I personally prefer a blend of honeycrisp, gala, and fuji apples. If seeking additional tartness, consider incorporating a granny smith apple. In the case of this apple fritter cake, honeycrisp apples were specifically chosen for their exceptional flavor.
