Instructions
Apple Filling
- Make the filling. In a medium saucepan, combine diced apples, granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, water, and cornstarch. Heat over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, or until apple soften and filling thickens. Remove from stove and cool.
Cinnamon Sugar
- In a small bowl, mix ½ cup brown sugar with ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Apple Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13" baking pan with nonstick spray. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine ⅓ cup butter and granulated sugar, until creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add eggs, vanilla extract, and applesauce, mixing until well combined.
- In a medium or large bowl whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon). Add sour cream and dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Combine until just combined - do not overmix.
- Spread half of the batter into the bottom of prepared baking dish.
- Spread the apple filling on top. Sprinkle about ⅔ of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Cover with the rest of the cake batter and the other ⅓ of the brown sugar and cinnamon mix. Bake 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- When the cake is almost done, gather the glaze ingredients. Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk in a small or medium bowl, until smooth.
- While cake is hot, poke about 30 holes in it. Pour the sweet glaze over the hot cake.
- Allow cake to rest for about 20 minutes for the glaze to set. Serve warm and enjoy!
