Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 2 medium apples, chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 8 tablespoons chopped walnuts or almonds
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit, and grease bundt pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Combine flour, salt, nutmeg and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon in a medium bowl. Stir in baking soda and baking powder, and set aside.
  3. Mix softened butter and sugar in a separate mixing bowl until a creamy consistency forms. Beat in eggs, one at a time, combining until creamy. Add vanilla and sour cream, and mix until well blended.
  4. Sift in dry ingredients, beating the mixture on low speed to form a batter-like consistency. Fold in chopped nuts and apples, stirring gently to evenly distribute.
  5. Pour the batter into bundt pan. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Turn cake onto serving plate after cooling in pan for 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
