Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 cups peeled and chopped apples (about 3 medium apples)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in sour cream until fully combined.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  7. Fold in chopped apples and nuts, if using.
  8. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 70–80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples work well for a balance of tartness and sweetness.
  • This cake tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded.
  • Serve with whipped cream or caramel sauce for an extra treat.
