Apple Crumb Cake Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl combine butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg and vanilla. Combine with a hand held mixer {stand mixer or by hand} until creamy.

Step 3

Add flour, salt and baking powder and mix to combine. The mixture might be a bit crumbly but that is alright.

Step 4

Add the milk all at once and combine until you have a nice cake batter. Pour half of the batter into the prepared 9x9 pan. Top with the chopped apples.

Step 5

To make the crumb topping, combine the butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into the other ingredients until you have crumbs. Do not over mix or you will have a paste. Spread half of the crumbs over the top of the apples.

Step 6

Add the remaining cake batter on top of the apple and crumbs, spread in an even layer. Top with remaining crumbs.

Step 7

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. Serve warm or cool on a wire rack. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
