Mini Apple Bundt Cakes
I found this recipe for Apple Cinnamon Bundt cake on Martha Stewart's Everyday Food. I recently bought quite a few Nordic Ware bundt pans, thanks to the Food Librarian. If you aren't a follower of her blog, she loves bundt cakes. In honor of National Bundt Day, which takes place on November 15th, she has been baking a different bundt cake every single day for the 30 days leading up to National Bundt Day. Her beautiful cakes have made a bundt lover out of me. I never really liked bundts until I saw the ones on her page and I love all the different Nordic Ware bundt pans she uses. Amazon is doing a 4 for 3 promotion on a lot of their Nordic Ware products, so I couldn't resist.
I chose free shipping and unfortunately I have been waiting for them to arrive for a while. My Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Cast Aluminum Garland Bundt Pan
The thick batter worried me. And when I put the batter into the pans, there was very little actual batter and a lot of apples. However, the end result was beautiful. I really was impressed with how sharp all the small details of the cakes came out.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 6 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cake: In a medium bowl,
whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. -
In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk
until smooth. Gradually whisk in dry ingredients just until combined
(do not overmix). Using a rubber spatula, fold in apples. Spoon batter
into a 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan, and smooth top (or if you are using mini bundts, there should be enough batter to make 12 mini bundts). Bake until a tester
inserted in cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes (about 15-20 minutes for mini bundts). Cool in pan on rack
15 minutes; invert onto rack to cool completely. - Dust top with powdered sugar.

I love taking advantage of Amazon’s 4 for 3 deals! I’m not a big fan of bundt cakes since the ones I’ve had tended to be very dense and lacked flavor. But after seeing your cute mini ones, I might try a recipe. How did you like the taste of the cake?

Hmm, I guess bundt cakes can be dense. My biggest problem has always been that the cakes don’t look as pretty and are hard to take out. The Nordic Ware ones I just bought don’t seem to have this problem. I really love mini ones! Everything is always better as mini. hehe.
The cake tasted alright for me. I accidentally left them in the oven way too long. I put them in and forgot to set my timer..so they were dry. But I think that was my fault. So I’m not exactly sure how these cakes would taste if I hadn’t screwed up the cooking time.

Apples taste so good in cakes! Makes them really moist. I’m going to continue trying out diff recipes for cakes and breads with apples until I find my ideal one.
