INGREDIENTS:
For the Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup natural applesauce
- 1 Granny Smith Apple, cored, peeled and diced
For the Glaze:
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp Maple Extract, flavoring (I like Watkins)
1/4 c Milk
Powdered Sugar
DIRECTIONS:
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, spices, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Add the applesauce and mix until combine well.
- Add the dry ingredients mixing until just combined.
- Stir in diced apple.
- Spoon batter into half sized bundt pan sprayed with non-stick spray. Cover with foil, tightly.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the pressure cooker and place the trivet in the bottom. Put the bundt pan on the trivet. (Use a foil sling to help make removing the bundt pan easier.)
- Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and set the timer for 25 minutes. When beep sounds, turn off pressure cooker and use a natural pressure release for 10 minutes and then do a quick pressure release to release any remaining pressure. When valve drops carefully remove lid.
- Carefully remove the bundt pan to a wire rack to cool uncovered for 10 minutes. Use caution removing foil from pan, don't burn yourself.
- After 10 minutes, remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
- When cake is cool drizzle with maple glaze.
DIRECTIONS for GLAZE:
1. In small bowl combine melted butter and milk, whisk together.
2. Add maple flavoring and stir together.
NOTE: If you get it too thick, just add milk (a tiny bit at a time) until it's the consistency you want.
