| 1 cup | confectioners sugar |
| 2 tablespoons | honey |
| 2 tablespoons | milk |
| for the apple cake: | |
| 3 cups | diced granny smith apples, (I used honey crisp) |
| 1 cup | lightly toasted chopped walnuts |
| 2 teaspoons | vanilla extract, (I used vanilla bean paste) |
| 2 teaspoons | ground cinnamon |
| 3 cups | all-purpose flour |
| 1 teaspoon | baking soda |
| 1 teaspoon | salt |
| 2 cups | sugar |
| 1-1/4 cups | vegetable oil, (I always use canola) |
| 3 | eggs |
Create the Apple Cake and Honey Glaze:
prepare the honey glaze:
Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and stir until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set the bowl aside. (This will thicken up as it sets.)
prepare the apple cake:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease or spray a bundt or coffee cake pan. Baking times will vary for pan used, noted below.
In a bowl, mix together the diced apples, toasted chopped walnuts, vanilla, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Using an electric mixer beat the sugar, oil, and eggs in a large bowl. Add in the dry ingredients and beat until completely combined. Fold in the apple mixture.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. The batter is going to be thick. If you are using a coffee cake pan, as I did, place the pan on center rack and cook for 60 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. (If you are using a bundt pan, the recipe states to bake for 1-1/2 hours, or until a tester inserted in to the middle of the cake comes out clean. See Carol's note below.)
Allow the cake to fully cool in the pan, about 1 hour, and then turn it out onto a plate.
refrigerator until ready to serve. You can wait until the day you are going to serve to prepare the glaze. Make the glaze a couple hours in advance so it has a chance to set up and thicken slightly. Drizzle the cake with the glaze before serving. Enjoy!!!
