Ingredients
Scale
3 large eggs
1 box yellow cake mix
2 cups chopped fresh apples
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
Caramel Glaze ingredients (as needed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped fresh apples and ground cinnamon.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare your caramel glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.
Notes
Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor contrast.
For an extra moist cake, you can substitute apple sauce for the water listed in the base recipe.
If you do not have a Bundt pan, you can bake this in a 9×13 inch baking dish for about 30-35 minutes.
