Applesauce Bundt Cake by Spaceships and Laser Beams

If you're a fan of cake and all things apple, buckle up because we've got a recipe you're going to love! It's an applesauce bundt cake that is basically fall in dessert form. The cake itself is loaded with warm spices and tart applesauce, and then it's topped with a drizzle of caramel sauce that seeps down into every nook and cranny. Are you salivating yet?

This recipe starts off with a simple batter that includes flour, apple pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, you'll mix together eggs, Musselman's Applesauce, brown sugar, oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Once those are combined, you'll add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

Then it's time to pour the batter into a greased bundt pan and bake it until it's golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. While the cake is still warm, you'll poke a bunch of holes all over the top with a toothpick or wooden skewer. This is where things start to get really good.

You'll take a warm caramel sauce (either store-bought or homemade) and slowly pour it over the cake, making sure it seeps into all those little holes you just made. Then you'll let the cake cool for a bit before flipping it out of the pan and onto a serving plate. If you're feeling fancy, drizzle some more caramel sauce over the top as a finishing touch.

The end result is a cake that is moist, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet. It's perfect for a special occasion or just as a treat for yourself on a cozy fall afternoon. So what are you waiting for? Grab your ingredients and get baking!

Plus, you won't have to sacrifice flavor, texture, or anything. Applesauce adds a subtle sweetness with some real fruit flavor that every little bit helps. And let's not forget that applesauce is simple to make and freezes beautifully. You can freeze it in portions of ¼ or ½ cup that defrost in no time at all. Homemade applesauce is much cheaper than the cheapest store-bought vegetable oil, especially in the fall when apples are in season. Basic applesauce is made out of blended or pureed apples and water. It's super easy, and you can do it!
