Watch me make this Apple Bundt Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze:

To begin, grease & flour a Bundt pan, or coat with my baking spray replacement mixture. Set it aside for now.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Core and dice some Granny Smith apples. (Peeling is optional.) You will need about 3 cups of diced apple.

Carefully remove the pan. Allow the cake to cool completely.

When the apple bundt cake is cooled, you’ll make the glaze.
