Foodie Byte

You may choose to serve it whole, or with a small wedge cut out to display a generous dollop of whipped cream cascading down the center.

Ingredients

2 cups peeled, cored, and chopped Granny Smith or McIntosh apples (about 2 large apples)
1/2 cup apple cider

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups sugar
2 sticks butter, softened
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
FOR THE CIDER GLAZE:
4 tablespoons butter, unsalted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Grease a Bundt pan with oil. In medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg and set aside.
In large bowl, blend sugar and butter. Add eggs and milk and beat until well combined.
Add dry ingredients to sugar mixture and stir until just blended. Fold in apples. This makes a very thick batter.
Press batter evenly into prepared mini Bundt pans and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
FOR THE CIDER GLAZE:
Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, stir, and bring to boil.
Reduce heat slightly and cook for 4 minutes.
Remove from heat. Pour while still warm over warm cakes.
