Caramel and apples are a divine combination. Imagine a moist cake that contains these two ingredients, it can only be one thing: amazingly delicious! And believe me, it is!

It all starts with a pretty simple apple bundt cake that is prepared and baked with love. Then, the magic happens… A layer of gooey caramel is poured on the apple cake to make it super moist and delicious. The caramel is made with coconut cream and just wraps the cake in a bundle of sweetness.

Then the cake is topped with crunchy pecans to add texture and bite. This cake is just perfect for any occasion!

If you have a bit of leftover caramel, I highly recommend that you drizzle it directly on the slices you serve to make your guests swoon!

Instructions

Apple Bundt Cake

1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees F.

3. In the bowl of a stand-up mixer, beat butter with sugar on medium speed.

8. Fold in the rest of the flour and finally, the rest of the almond milk.
9. Incorporate grated apples and pour the batter into the prepared mold.
10. Bake the cake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
11. Cool in mold for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
12. Let cool on a cooling rack.

Caramel Glaze

1. While your cake is cooking, you can prepare the caramel glaze by cooking brown sugar and coconut cream in a small pot on low heat for 10 minutes while stirring constantly to avoid burning.
2. Once the caramel has become thicker and darker, remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract.
3. Transfer to a glass jar.

Assembling the Cake

2. Pour caramel glaze and top with pecan halves.
