I bought some gorgeous Granny Smith apples last week and after eating several of them, I knew I wanted to bake a delicious dessert with these scrumptious, tart apples. I was also fairly certain my new obsession with cinnamon chips would pair perfectly with this fall fruit. I found a recipe on Martha Stewart’s website and thought it sounded amazing. I like the fact that the apples are not chopped for this cake; instead they are sliced 1/4 inch thick leaving a lot of texture and apple-y goodness in every bite!
For this recipe I used Hershey’s Cinnamon Chips as opposed to the ones that I purchased from The Prepared Pantry. Honestly, the ones from The Prepared Pantry are by far my favorite. The Prepared Pantry brand chips are smaller, lighter in color and impart a more natural cinnamon flavor. I would definitely use the Hershey’s chips in a pinch, but I am glad I stocked up on the minis for my holiday baking.
This cake baked up really well and in my opinion was one attractive bundt, I loved the sugary glaze that was poured on top, it gave a nice balance to the tart apples and spiced cake. On a humorous baking tragedy note…after cutting a couple of pieces of this cake for photos, Brian dropped the whole thing on floor while attempting to transport it to his co-workers. Needless to say the whole thing was chucked into the trash and his co-workers went without their usual Tuesday treat! This was a tragedy indeed!
If you are looking for a great fall cake, give this one a try, just be careful not to drop it on the floor! Be sure to check out my other Fall favorites!

Apple Cinnamon Chip Bundt Cake
Ingredients:
For the Cake
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup Hershey’s Cinnamon Chips
For the Glaze
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons water
Directions:
For the Cake
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
3. In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, vanilla and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
4. Gradually whisk in dry ingredients just until combined (do not overmix). Using a rubber spatula, fold in apples and cinnamon chips.
5. Spoon batter into a 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan, and smooth top. Bake until a tester inserted in cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.

For the Glaze
1. Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and enough water to form a thick yet pourable glaze.
2. Set rack with cake over a piece of wax paper (for easy cleanup); drizzle cake with glaze, and let set before serving.

This sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it!
P.S. I gave you a shout out on Pioneer Woman today!
Oh SNAP..I so would have used Cinnamon chips in my bundt cake if I would have thought of it! I have a freezer full of them! YOur cake looks so good. I made it too and really liked it!
Your bundt looks and sounds delicious!
Oh, boy! At least you got some good photos. My desserts are usually gobbled up before I get good photos.

Mmm! I so have some cinnamon chips in my pantry–perfect!
confession: i would totally eat every scrap of this cake off the floor. when apples and cinnamon are involved, i suddenly become a fan of the five-second rule. :)
How yummy looking!I am absolutely running out to get some cinnamon chips ( or at least order them on line!) Thanks!
I feel the need to comment every single I see any apple/cinnamon baked good in the food blogosphere. Call me obsessed, but each time I see a cake like this one my stomach grumbles a bit. It's amazing, although I hate that fall brings winter, I love that there are treats like this one to enjoy. I have never used cinnamon chips though, thanks for the tip on where to by them, I would hate to me dissappointed.
