Recipe Introduction










List of Ingredients



• STREUSEL:
  
• 3/4 c. sugar
  
• 3 tsp. orange flavored instant drink mix (like Tang)
  
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
  
• CAKE:
  
• 3 c. all purpose flour
  
• 2 c. sugar
  
• 3 tsp. baking powder
  
• 3 tsp. orange flavored instant drink mix
  
• 1/2 tsp. salt
  
• 1 c. vegetable oil
  
• 1/2 c. water
  
• 4 large eggs
  
• 4 c. apples, peeled and thinly sliced (I used Granny Smith)
  
• SPICE GLAZE:
  
• 2 c. powdered sugar
  
• 1 Tbsp. butter, softened
  
• 1/2 tsp. apple pie spice OR
  
• a combination of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg
  
• 2-4 Tbsp. milk
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.
   
2. Combine streusel ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
   
3. In a large bowl, combine all cake ingredients except apples. Pour 1/3 of batter (about 1 2/3 c.) into Bundt pan. Layer 2 cups of apples over batter; sprinkle with half the streusel. Repeat layers with another 1/3 of batter, remaining apples and remaining streusel. End with remaining 1/3 of cake batter.
   
4. Bake for 65-75 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when tested. Cool in pan for 3 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate to cool completely.
   
5. When cake is cool, prepare glaze. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, butter and spice. Add milk one Tbsp. at a time until smooth and of drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over cooled cake.
   






Final Comments


Original Submitter's Note: This cake is also excellent without glaze; instead I serve it slightly warm with vanilla ice cream.
