Apple Pound CakeBy Kelly Miller • August25,2015 • Updated January 16, 2019 • Leave a Comment2.5K8 Jump to Recipe Celebrate apple season with this beautiful cake filled with fresh, chopped apples and dusted with powdered sugar – a dessert everyone will love! I feel like pound cake is a dessert that pretty much, universally everyone loves and is drawn to! My Grandmom makes an insanely addictive pound cake and she always dusted the top with powdered sugar, so to me when I make pound cake it has to have that signature dusting as well. I was so fortunate to have been gifted a LARGE bag of beautiful green apples from some friends at church and I thought it would be such a yummy addition to traditional pound cake. This one is a bit lighter than the usual pound cake as well, which I think pairs great with the chunks of sweet apples throughout. Make this fabulous cake to take along to a potluck dinner, or as a way to celebrate apple picking season! We won’t be out there picking as usual, what with me having to sit down every 5 minutes or else my back feels like it’s going to break in half… so make sure you take those kiddos apple picking for me! It’s truly one of our family’s favorite fall activities. This one will get your house smelling wonderfully in no time!Apple Pound CakeCelebrate apple season with this beautiful cake filled with fresh, chopped apples and dusted with powdered sugar - a dessert everyone will love!0 from 0 votes Print Pin RateCourse: DessertCuisine: AmericanKeyword: apple pound cake recipePrep Time: 10 minutesCook Time: 1 hour 10 minutesTotal Time: 1 hour 20 minutesServings: 8 servingsCalories: 442kcalAuthor: Kelly MillerIngredients2 cups sugar1 cup oil1/4 cup applesauce3 eggs1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract3 cups flour1 tsp baking soda1 tsp salt3/4 tsp cinnamon3 cups apples peeled and diced smallpowdered sugarInstructionsCream together sugar, oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract in a stand mixer.In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.Gradually beat flour mixture into sugar mixture.
