You know I have a weak spot for apple desserts. Caramelized Apple Bundt Cake is just impossible to resist! I know it’s not even close to fall. It is the middle of another scorching hot summer and what better way for me to dream a little about cooler temps and the leaves changing than with an amazing apple cake.
Who am I kidding?!? The leaves never change in these parts of Florida. A girl can dream! This cake…oh, this cake! Caramel is another little problem I secretly deal with. I can’t tell you how I avoid it. I love Heath bars…there! I said it. Adore them. And I love any ice-cream with caramel. Dulce de leche: HUGE PROBLEM. This cake…
You know I realized I don’t post enough recipes with pastry cream. Pastry cream is so easy to whip up and so incredible stuffed in between a gorgeous bundt that has a gooey caramel drizzle.
Remember my recent caramel sauce and pastry cream recipes? They were an important part of this incredible cake! The caramel sauce and pastry cream is so versatile. You can use it in so many amazing recipes…let’s see what else I make with them this summer;)
After spreading on the pastry cream I realized that the filling definitely needed a little bit of caramelized apples. It also needed a little bit of caramel drizzled on top!
For the pastry cream, see recipe here.
For caramel sauce, see recipe here.

Holy shizz, Lora. My mouth dropped down to my chest at the sight of your incredible creation. Who cares if my face and shirt are covered with drool? You're brilliant for sandwiching your bundt with creamy, luscious, indulgent pastry cream. And those giant chunks of apple are calling my name!

I love not only the incredible flavors you chose to use here but also the inventive presentation. I really like that you put pastry cream in the center. Yum! Caramel and apples are perfection together and that pastry cream must really be such a nice finishing touch to bring it all together. Lovely!

Wow. I am not sure if I have ever tasted a bundt cake before but this caramelized apple bundt cake looks so good. I love how the bundt looks like with the carmelized sauce over it. The last picture reminds me of bavarian donuts that I love and crave because of its creaminess

I added about 1/2 to 1 tsp of cinnamon to the pastry cream recipe and it kicks things up quite a bit…delicious! I'd actually go as high as 1.5-2 tsp of cinnamon next time
