Ingredients

For the cake:

all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons for the pan

packed light or dark brown sugar

milk or alternative milk

canola oil, or 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

tart baking apples (about 3 medium), such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

For the glaze:

cream cheese, at room temperature

milk or alternative milk

chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted (optional)

Instructions

Make the cake:

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Generously coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with 1 tablespoon butter. Dust with the 2 tablespoons of flour and tap out any excess; set aside.

Place the remaining 3 cups flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat or whisk to combine. Add the milk, oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat with an electric hand mixer or in the stand mixer on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Fold in the apples with a rubber spatula.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the cake is lightly browned, springs back when lightly pressed with a finger, and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the pan to loosen the cake and flip it out of the pan onto a wire rack. Cool completely before glazing.

Make the glaze:

Place the cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer, small food processor, or sturdy whisk.) Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, gradually add the powdered sugar, and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add the milk and vanilla and mix on low speed until smooth and creamy, about 15 seconds.

Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, making sure that the glaze drips down the sides of the cake. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.

Recipe Notes

Storage: The glazed cake can be wrapped with plastic wrap after the glaze has set. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Let come to room temperature before serving.

All In One Apple Cake

Published: Sep 22, 2021 · Modified: Oct 12, 2021 by lynnswayoflife · This post may contain affiliate links

Calling all apple fans!! This all in one apple cake is a simple one bowl recipe! Chunks of sweet apple are surrounded by a moist, cinnamon cake. Simply top with powdered sugar for a crowd pleasing Fall dessert!

It’s apple season in New England! My favorite time of year! Apples, pumpkins, sweaters, and cozy candles are all around! When we have so many apples and pumpkins around, I love playing with recipes and adding apples to everything! Like these Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Bars and this apple cake!

This recipe came from my grandma. It’s one of those recipes that has been in the family for years and years but no one knows where it originated from. It was my grandfather’s favorite cake, because it’s not too sweet, and not covered in chocolate. It has a delicious cinnamon flavor and large chunks of apples throughout the cake.

Why This Apple Cake is Amazing!

• Everything is made in one bowl! No large equipment needed. Add everything to a bowl and mix it together!
• It’s a great use for fresh apples! If you’re like my family, you love going apple picking in the Fall. We always have tons of apples that need to be eaten or baked with before they go bad.
• It’s an easy cake to make! The hardest part of this cake is chopping the apples. There are lots of gadgets out there that will help make peeling and cutting easier, like this one.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Equipment

No fancy equipment needed to make this cake. You’ll mix everything by hand so you don’t mush the apples together and they are apple to hold their shape in the cake.

Step By Step Photos

• Mix the sugars, oil, and vanilla together
• Add the eggs
• Add in the diced apples
• Mix in the dry ingredients
• Butter and grease a 9×13 inch pan
• Ready to bake!

How To Make This Apple Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix together coconut oil, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well until fully combined.
3. Add the eggs and mix well.
4. Peel and chop the apples into small chunks, about ½ inch thick.
5. Add the apples, flour, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder to the bowl.
6. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. At this point, it may look like there is not enough batter based on how many apples there are. Don’t stress! The batter will rise and create a beautiful crumb in the cake.
7. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch pan. Pour the cake into the pan and spread it out so the batter is evenly distributed throughout the pan.
8. Place the pan in the oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to slightly cool before cutting into it so the cake holds its shape.

The Best Apples To Use

You’ll want to use sweet, firm apples. Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp are my favorite. We just went apple picking, so we have a bunch of Honeycrisp apples in my kitchen to use. You can even do a mixture of apples, two Gala and one Honeycrisp would be really great! If you have more tart apples like Granny Smith, I’d add more sugar to offset the tartness of the apples.

How To Serve This Apple Cake

• This cake is perfect with just a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a twist on an apple pie ala mode. You can’t go wrong adding vanilla ice cream to anything!
• To add a glaze, mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. That will give you a beautiful, light glaze for the cake.
• There’s always homemade whipped cream! Add 1 cup of whipping cream to the bowl of a stand mixer and add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Whip the heck out of it until it forms stiff peaks. The easiest whipped cream you could make!

Tips and Tricks

• When you are mixing the cake, it may look like there is not enough batter or that the batter is too thick, but don’t worry! The amount of baking powder in this recipe gives it a nice rise, so the batter will surround the cake and become beautifully moist.
• Make sure to grease and flour the pan well. There’s a lot of sugar in the apples and the batter that could easily stick if the pan is not greased properly.
• This cake can be made in a Bundt pan or a spring form pan. This makes a lot of batter, so add a baking sheet to the bottom of the cake pan when baking to make sure there is no overflow of the batter while it bakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! If you want to freeze it, bake it off as you would, let it cool, and then wrap the cake pan in plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer for up to 3 months. To defrost, place it on the counter until completely thawed.

If you don’t eat it all in one sitting, this cake will last up to 3 days on the counter. Make sure it’s in an airtight container, and place it on the counter and grab a slice whenever you are ready!

You can add cinnamon chips or caramel chips to this cake for an extra depth of flavor. Top the cake with a cinnamon streusel crumble just like this banana bread. Keep it simple by adding some walnuts and raisins into the cake too!

Easy One-Bowl Apple Cake Recipe

Easy One-Bowl Apple Cake Recipe comes together in a pinch. All natural, nothing artificial, and tastes incredible. Luscious Cream Cheese Frosting is optional (it’s vegan without.) This cake is a keeper you’ll want all year round.

I mentioned we finally made it to our local family-owned apple orchard, right? I love, love that place. It’s owned by the sweetest peeps who make their own apple cider, jams, bakery goodies, and even crisp hard cider. It’s all part of the fall experience here in Minnesota.

A visit to the apple orchard always gives us inevitable apple-greed. I believe we came home with nearly 20 pounds of apples. That’s not counting the 5 lbs we polished off on the way home. I wish I were exaggerating.

I’m not really complaining though. Because check out the Easy One-Bowl Apple Cake I’m about to reveal.

There are a few apple cakes we adore: this One-Bowl Apple Streusel Coffee Cake and this Apple Caramel Cinnamon Cake are two of my go-to favorites. But I cannot get myself to stop with the apple cakes; it’s an autumn obsession.

So here we are. Introducing the easiest, fool-proof-est Easy One-Bowl Apple Cake you’ll ever make/eat/repeat.

Watch us make Easy One-Bowl Apple Cake Recipe:

This is the easiest, least messy version of apple cake you’ll ever make. It’s truthfully so moist, tender, and tasty that it doesn’t have to have the luscious cream cheese drizzle. This cake is good enough to stand on its down. That being said…who doesn’t want luscious cream cheese drizzle??

I routinely keep a Ziploc baggie of this easy, fool-proof cream cheese frosting in the fridge because this frosting is a social butterfly and makes friends with all the treats. It takes this already irresistible apple cake and takes it over the top.

I’ll concede that sounds a little bit braggy. I’m trying to stay humble about this cake, but I’m maybe not quite succeeding. 😇

You just have to bake it up and see for yourself. Dessert or breakfast. You choose.

If you make this recipe or any others from our collection, don’t forget to show it off on Instagram. Hashtag it #chewoutloud so we can see your awesomeness!

Oh yum! I could almost smell it from the photos 😀 I bet they taste really good.

It looks great in the photos! I might have to try this when I get done with the Whole30. We have an abundance of apples right now.

This was a big fat flop for me! My apples were large, not medium, but since the recipe stated extra apples were added I figured it’d be ok. Recipe doesn’t say anything about increased baking time for extra apples, and even after keeping this cake in the oven for an extra half hour, it’s still wet and sticky on top and overall just completely inedible. So disappointing!

Sorry to hear this recipe didn’t work out for you. I don’t include increasing the time to bake because when we bake it we normally bake it for 55 minutes. Again, I’m sorry this recipe didn’t work out for you.

I was looking for a simple, quick recipe to toss together and thought I would try this. I only had one apple – not huge but bigger than medium lol – so I decided to just make a half recipe. I can’t believe that something that is basically toss, stir and bake can come out so good! I just topped it with a bit of a caramel glaze (just used some caramel syrup to stir into the powdered sugar) and it was perfect! Next time I’ll make sure I have enough apples on hand to make a full batch. This is going to disappear fast! lol

OMG, Jane! I didn’t think of topping it with caramel… oh so good! Thank you for sharing and I’m glad you loved it!

I am excited to try this! I have a dozen or so honey crisp that need to be used up. I know you added more apples, did you double everything else too?

Hi Trisha, I didn’t but my apples were smaller. I would recommend doubling the recipe in your case. I just love my cake with more apples!

No where in this recipe does it say the temperature to bake it at. I’m standing in my kitchen with everything together and no clue as to what temperature to set my oven at : /

hi Janna! I apologize as half my post was missing. Its 350F!

Joyce,
Made this today..came out absolutely delicious!! Thank you so much…recipe was easy and holy cow soooooo…good!!

Glad you enjoyed it, Mea!

Delicious cake! I don’t like using oil in cake so I substituted 1/2 cup of applesauce and two very ripe bananas. I had to bake about 10 minutes extra.

OOOhhhh, I’m going to try this for sure. Thank you sooo much for sharing this.

I’ve made this recipe 3 times. Once I forgot the eggs and it came out almost with a cobbler like texture and eaten in 2 days. My 82 year old father says this is his favorite cake now.

Ooh, I’m going to have to try it without the eggs. I’m so happy to read your father loves it. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.

Please make your recipes so they can be printed without all the extra pictures. They use too much ink and the recipe is five pages long! I won’t go thru the hassle of cutting and pasting.

Hi Linda! Thank you for the feedback. – Joyce

Can I ask, did you use all-purpose or self-rising flour? New to baking.
