Instructions

Apple Cakes

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF, and grease and flour a mini Bundt cake pan, making sure to cover all nooks and crannies of the pan.
  2. Dice or grate apples into very small pieces. 
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a second bowl, large enough to eventually hold all of your ingredients, whisk together the eggs, brown and granulated sugars, sour cream or Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until just combined.
  6. Fold your chopped apples gently into your batter until incorporated. 
  7. Spoon batter into your greased and floured mini Bundt cake pan until approximately ¾ full.
  8. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cakes comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cakes onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Glaze

  1. As your cakes cool, gently warm your cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl in the microwave in short, 10-second bursts on low power until it’s runny enough to whisk. Should take 30-45 seconds in total.   
  2. Add your vanilla extract, cinnamon, pinch of salt, powdered sugar, and (if using) ground freeze dried apples to the bowl, whisking until the mixture is slightly thickened but still liquid-y. Loosen consistency with milk as desired.
  3. Drizzle cream cheese glaze onto the 6 mini bundts.
  4. If desired, top your mini Bundts with another dusting of cinnamon or cinnamon sticks
