Caramel Apple Bundt Cake

Caramel and apples is a combination that screams fall flavor. I love fresh apples dipped in a rich, creamy, chewy carmel coating. Today’s recipe for Caramel Apple Bundt Cake brings those flavors together but in cake form.

To make life easy, I used a cake mix for the base of the cake. It gets a few extra additions though to make it even more delicious including chopped up apple. Then this cake gets a generous topping of an amazing caramel icing. The icing is what really makes this caramel apple bundt cake!

So start with a yellow cake mix. Then you mix in some white chocolate pudding mix, water, eggs, and applesauce. Once you have that combined, you fold in some diced apple. Then the batter cooks in a bundt pan at 350 for about 1 hour.

Once the cake is removed from the pan and cooled completely, it’s time for the icing. This is a cooked icing. Start by adding some butter, brown sugar, salt, and whipping cream to a medium sauce pan. Then bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly. When it reaches boiling allow to boil for one minute and remove from heat. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Last, whisk in some powdered sugar until smooth.

When making recipes using fresh apples I always like to use 2 kinds of apples. My favorite combination is granny smith and galas.
