I just made this for my Dad's birthday and it was so tasty I had to share! It's a keeper! So moist!! Typically I make cakes from scratch but to save time, I used a box mix.

A slice of Apple Spice Cake With Cream Cheese Glaze.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We love that this apple cake is a jazzed-up spice mix box recipe. It makes a super simple fail-proof cake that's moist and full of spice and apples in every bite. On top is a rich and creamy cream cheese glaze that's gooey and delicious. Enjoy this cake year-round but especially in the fall. It's filled with wonderful fall spice flavors! Once we drizzled the glaze, we did dust it with a little extra cinnamon.

1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
3 large eggs
2/3 cup water
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1 pound Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped (about 2 1/2 cups diced)

How To Make apple spice cake with cream cheese glaze

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Beat the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl with a mixer until well blended.
Step 3

Stir in apples.
Step 4

Pour into a well-greased and floured Bundt pan.
Step 5

Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 5 min. or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Step 6

Cool in pan for 15 min. Loosen the cake from the side of the pan with a knife (the cake will probably stick some). Invert cake onto wire rack; gently remove pan. Cool cake completely.
Step 7

When the cake is cooled, beat cream cheese, butter, and milk with an electric mixer. Gradually mix in powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Add vanilla and beat until incorporated.
Step 8

With a large spoon, spoon the icing onto the cake. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Store in the refrigerator.
