Rustic Applesauce Cake

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, quartered and cut into chunks
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Lightly oil a Bundt cake pan. In medium saucepan, bring apples and 1/4 cup water to simmer over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until apples are tender (about 12 minutes). Mash apples with whisk, stirring for about 2 more minutes while liquid continues to evaporate. Remove from heat.

Whisk brown sugar into apples and then whisk in oil. Whisk in eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Transfer batter to prepared Bundt pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown (a toothpick inserted in center should come out clean). Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Then invert cake and let cool on cake platter or plate, and dusting top with confectioners' sugar before slicing and serving.
