Equipment

  • 1 bundt pan
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 knife
  • 1 non stick spray canola or olive oil

Ingredients

  • 3 apples, peeled and sliced
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar, (can use ⅔ cup)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ⅔ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, (or fresh lemon juice)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar, for decoration

Instructions

Preparation instructions

  • Apples: Peel and slice each of the 3 apples and set aside.
  • Wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together until the mixture is light in color, for about 2-3 minutes.
    Next, add the milk, olive oil, lemon juice and vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Dry ingredients: Now add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until a smooth, consistent batter is formed.
  • Add apples: Gently fold the previously the apple chunks into the batter until well mixed. You should have LOTS of apples mixed in.

Baking instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray the bundt pan with the non-stick spray (canola or olive oil spray).
  • Pour the batter into sprayed bundt pan.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
  • Check if done by inserting a fine skewer into the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Cool your bundt cake for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
