Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 90 minutes

Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 3 cups (about 2 apples) Granny Smith apples, diced
  • 1 cup lightly toasted walnuts, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs

Directions

Glaze

Add confectioner’s sugar, honey and milk to a small bowl and stir until smooth. Set the bowl aside.

Cake

Preheat the oven to 325 °F. Lightly grease a Bundt pan or tube pan.

In a bowl, mix together the apples, walnuts, vanilla and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.

Using an electric mixer beat the sugar, oil and eggs in a large bowl. Add in the dry ingredients and beat until completely combined. Fold in the apple mixture.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until a tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Allow the cake to fully cool in the pan, about 1 hour, and then turn it out onto a plate.

Drizzle the apple cake with some of the honey glaze, serve and enjoy!

Cook’s Note:

The cake can be wrapped tightly and stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

This is a delicious cake! But the recipe is a little different from the one in my Paula Deen cook book. A cinnamon sugar mixture is sprinkle on the oiled pan instead of just plain oiled. The cinnamon and nutmeg is added to the flour mixture. The apples are added with the vanilla . Then the flour mixture is next. Then nuts, raisins plus coconut if you want it. But that is the reicipe I follow . Every time I see it online somewhere it is altered. I like the original recipe. Delicious!

This is a very good moist cake. I used pecans as I don't care for walnuts. The longer it sits, the better it gets. Recipe is very easy to follow. We tried it with and without the glaze, I like it without and hubby likes it with the glaze.
