Ingredients

For the Cake

1 box (13.25 oz) spice cake mix 375 g
1 cup apple cider 250 ml or 8 fl. oz.
½ cup apple sauce 4.4oz or 125g
3 large eggs
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

For the Topping

2 tablespoons cinnamon
¼ cup granulated sugar 1.8oz or 50g
¼ cup butter, melted 2oz or 60g

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 10 inch bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Be sure to get in all the cracks and crevices.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the powdered cake mix with the apple cider, apple sauce, eggs, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake in your preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 20 minutes before flipping it out to a cooling rack.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cinnamon and granulated sugar together.
Use a pastry brush to brush the melted butter over the entire cake.
Before the butter sets, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the entire cake. You want it to stick to the butter.
Let the cake stand for 10 minutes to set and dry. Slice and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Store the apple cake tightly wrapped or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense, tough cake.
Try a 9x13 baking dish if you don’t have a bundt pan and reduce the baking time.
