How to Make Apple Cake with Cake Mix

This apple cinnamon cake has become one of my favorite easy cake recipes for fall. It’s just such a great flavor! So if you already have a box of cake mix sitting in your pantry and you want to try something different, this has your name written all over it!

How to Make Apple Bundt Cake:

Combine cake mix, pudding, oil, water, eggs, applesauce, diced apples, cinnamon, and cinnamon baking chips with an electric mixer, then pour the batter into a bundt pan.
Bake 40-45 minutes at 350°F.
When it’s done (check with a toothpick), let it cool for 10 minutes before inverting it out of the pan and onto a plate.
Whip up the icing while it cools, by blending cream cheese, butter, milk, cinnamon, and powdered sugar.
Top off your cake with the icing and some cinnamon chips, and it’s ready to serve!

No matter how much baking I do, I’ll never turn my back on cake mixes for quick and easy cakes. If you can make something like this with it, then who needs the extra hassle of measuring out dry ingredients, right?

Chunky Apple Bundt Cake is perfect for breakfast, brunch, after-lunch-snack, dessert, and everything in between. You get the picture! It’s easy, it’s delicious, and since its made with real apple chunks, you can pretend its healthy too. Perfect!
