Apple Cider Mini Bundt Cakes

Embrace the cozy flavors of fall with my favorite Apple Cider Caramel Bundt Cake. This incredibly moist and tender cake ( a bit dense because it is not made with eggs or oil) is packed with warm spices and an intense apple flavor, thanks to a simple apple cider reduction. Instead of a traditional sugar-laden topping, it's crowned with a yummy, creamy caramel drizzle made from wholesome Medjool dates and rich almond butter. It's the perfect, comforting plant-based dessert for a crisp autumn day or a special holiday treat.
