Ingredients
For the Cake
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups diced apples about 3 medium apples
For the Glaze
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, make the glaze by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and milk, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
- When the cake is done, poke holes in the top with a skewer or fork. Pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake.
- Let the cake cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Make It Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour.
