This flavorful, old fashioned apple pound cake is moist, chocked full of tender, fresh apples and immersed in a delightful cinnamon cake glaze.
I thought I was done with my apple bake’n for 2022, but then a co-worker gave me some Granny Smith Apples. And friends, these were straight from the apple orchard, not the produce section at Kroger. So, what could one do, but apple bake an apple pound cake.

Moist Apple Cake With A Hint Of Cinnamon
My first thought when I took my first bite of this easy apple pound cake was, “great flavor”, the second was, “this is so moist” (not overly moist). It reminded me of the apple nut cake, I made a couple of weeks before, amazing flavor and oh so moist.
This simple apple pound cake is full of diced apples that provide such a delicious, sweet, classic apple flavor. The one teaspoon of cinnamon gives just a hint of cinnamon flavor, which is perfect. This allows the apples and their flavor to shine and be the main character in this cake.

This delicious apple cake is drowned in a simple cinnamon glaze, which is just the perfect finishing touch. Made with powdered sugar, milk and cinnamon, this glaze is quick and easy to whip up and compliments the flavor of the apple pound cake perfectly.
Tips For Baking Fresh Apple Pound Cake
- Choose Good Baking Apples – Apples that will hold their shape and not get mushy make the best baking apples. According to this post by Stemilt World Famous Fruit, the best apples for cake are Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji and Gala.
- Fold In Your Apples With A Spatula And Not A Mixer. Using a mixer to incorporate your apples could turn them into applesauce.
- Dredge Your Apples In A Tablespoon Or Two Of Flour Before Incorporating Them In Your Batter. This will keep them from sinking to the bottom of the pan while the cake is baking.

Would i be able to use mini bundt cake pans for this recipe? If so any idea how lomg to bake them for?
Yes, I think these would work in mimi bundts. I would make sure I greased the pans super well though. I don’t know if you’re using 6 cup pans or 12 cup pans. Depending on that, I would bake between 30 and 45 minutes. Please let me know how these come out. Thanks and great to hear from you.
Is this plain or self rising flour?
Thanks so much for this question. It’s all purpose flour. I should have put that in the recipe. Thanks to this question, I went and changed the recipe to say all purpose flour. Thanks again. Hope you enjoy this apple pound cake.
Turned out perfectly. Used my new NordicWare pumpkin Bundt pan.
Oh my goodness, thanks for sharing. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You just can’t beat the combo of apples, cinnamon and pound cake.
What about the levener? No baking powder or baking soda?
Great question. This apple pound cake has 5 eggs, which provide a lot of leavening. This cake is a delicious fall treat. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for your question.
