How to Make Apple Dapple Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. Mix together the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil in a large bowl.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is smooth.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients gradually into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Prepare the glaze by melting the butter and whisking in the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  9. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate and pour the glaze over.
