Apple Crumble Cake Directions
- Prepare the Pan and Oven:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round baking pan and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Make the Cake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This dry mixture sets the foundation for a soft and flavorful cake.
- Next, add the softened butter and mix until the mixture is crumbly and well blended. Then, add the eggs and milk, stirring just until everything is combined. Overmixing can make the cake dense, so stop when it’s smooth but not overly mixed.
- Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they’re evenly distributed. Apples add moisture and flavor that really make this cake special.
- Prepare the Crumble Topping:
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix it in using your fingers or a pastry cutter until you achieve a crumbly texture. This crumbly mixture will create a delightful, slightly crispy topping as it bakes.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter, pressing it down gently to make sure it adheres slightly.
- Place the cake in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack.
- This Apple Crumble Cake can be served warm or at room temperature. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
Apple Choice: Use crisp, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to add a balanced flavor to the cake.
Extra Flavor: Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top of the crumble before baking for an added pop of spice.
Storage: Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate to keep it fresh longer.
