Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) plain Greek yogurt (substitute with dairy-free yogurt if needed)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 1 ½ cups)
  • Cinnamon sugar mix: ¼ cup granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Brown Sugar Glaze:
  • ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan well, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix evenly inside, coating the bottom and sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the melted butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry mix into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until thick but smooth. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced apples carefully to avoid breaking them down.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Check at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  8. While the cake bakes, make the brown sugar glaze: In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and powdered sugar until smooth.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack.
  10. While still warm, drizzle the brown sugar glaze generously over the top so it soaks into the crispy crust.
  11. Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
