Instructions

Grease and flour the bundt pan or use baking spray. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend in softened butter until crumbly. Beat in eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and milk until smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Mix diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl, then fold into the batter.
Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake for 55-60 minutes until browned. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cake plate until fully cooled.
For the glaze, combine brown sugar, butter, and 4 tablespoons of milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let it cool for 15 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the cooled mixture, powdered sugar, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat for 2 minutes until smooth, then pour over the cooled cake. Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using half brown sugar and half granulated sugar in the cake mix.
You can use any type of apples you prefer for this recipe, but tart varieties work best.
Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting.
