Apple Crumb Cake has a sweetly moist center with a slightly crunchy flavorful top layer that completes this easy to make home made treat. It is perfect for the fall season, especially when apples are for sale in the grocery store.
Crumbling buttery sweetness, this cake recipe is cheaper and better than any you stumble across. Chucks of apples covered in accents and invitations of buttery sweetness, this cake is a must try. My middle son requested this type cake with his morning tea the day of his birthday because it’s during the fall season and he loves apples too. When this came out of the oven it was met by my waiting family. We all gathered in the kitchen area and enjoyed a slice together. Absolutely recommend this with a cup of coffee for us grown ups. But kids also enjoy with a mild tea, milk or favorite beverage.

In a small bowl: combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, salt and mix. Add melted butter.
Mix until it begins to form coarse crumbs.
Peel & remove core of the apples. Cut into ¼” cubes and then place in a bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, melted butter and salt. Mix everything together and set aside.
In a large bowl: add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt then mix. Highly recommend that you sift the dry ingredients before mixing them into the wet ingredients. This will form a smoother batter and the cake will be very soft & fluffy. Add eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, melted butter and mix everything together until smooth.
Transfer the batter to the pan.
Add apple mixture on top of the batter.
Then, add the crumb on top.
Bake for 55-65 minutes (it took me 56 min) or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and rest the cake in the pan for 30 minutes or until cool to touch.
In a small bowl- add powdered sugar, milk and mix until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cake.
Serve & enjoy! Refrigerate the leftovers in the refrigerator.
