Ingredients
Apple Cake
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons milk or cream
- 2 large apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
Crumble Topping
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cold, diced small
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9-inch springform or round cake pan. Set aside.
Streusel Topping
- Using a hand mixer or pastry cutter, blend the crumble topping ingredients into coarse crumbles. This can also be done with your fingertips. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Apple Cake
- Cream the butter and sugar together using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, until pale, light, and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated.
- Fold the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into the butter mixture. Then fold in the milk or cream until a smooth but thick cake batter forms. Fold in half the apples, then transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread the batter to the edges of the pan.
- Top the cake batter with the remaining apples in an even layer, and then sprinkle the crumble over the top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool.
