How to Make Easy Apple Cake
Heat oven to 350°. Peel and chop your 4 large Gala apples and set them aside.
Spray a bundt pan with non-stick baking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Add 1 cup of sugar and 4 egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attached and beat on high until soft peaks form.
Reduce the mixer to low speed, add chopped apples, 1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce, and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
Mix well to combine.
Pour the batter into the bundt pan.
Tap the pan on the counter to guarantee it is evenly spread.
Bake for 55 minutes.
Insert a toothpick in the center to verify the toothpick comes out clean.
Place the bundt pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
Remove from the pan and cool.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar. This dusting wand is my new favorite discovery.
