Apple Crumb Cake

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.

    Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

    Lovely pumpkin flavors embedded in this soft and creamy bar are a triumphant combination on a simple to make graham cracker chewy crust. This seasonal dish is perfect with coffee or to present at a party and can be made with very little preliminary work that makes it a very good selection for your seasonal festivities. Pumpkin bars like this one provide a harmony of thick, sweet textures and flavors that are becoming a fall spice classic. Here in my home, these go very fast, my husband got a small slice and returned looking the next day but found an empty serving dish and three happy kids with guilt free grins letting him know he needs to move faster if he wants to enjoy this dish next time it comes out of the oven.

    Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are a Fall favorite for very obvious sweet and delicious reasons.

    In a medium size bowl: place in the graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and mix well.

    Then form the crumbs into the bottom of the pan (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help press down). Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes.

    In a medium size bowl: add softened cream cheese and sugar. Whip until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract and whip until smooth.

    Add 1 egg and whip until smooth. Continue to add the other egg and continue to whip until smooth.

    Remove the pan from freezer. Put half of the cream cheese mixture atop the graham cracker crust.

    Spread and level the cream cheese mixture using a silicone or cake spatula. Then Gently jiggle to help settle and further level the mixture (this will help making a nice uniform and beautiful layer).

    Add pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice to the other half of the cream cheese mixture.

    Mix well until it looks constant with no swirls.

    Use a ladle to place the pumpkin mixture over the previous white cream cheese layer. Then repeat steps to spread and level the upper most layer.

    Then very gently jiggle the pan until settled and level: (don’t be too aggressive here and you will have a beautiful layer dish). 

    Place the pan in the middle of the oven rack. Bake for 45-50 minutes 

    Remove the pan and let cool completely for at least 2 hours (room temperature). Then, chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. Prior to serving, remove the cheesecake from the pan and then cut into 9 pieces.

    Crust

    • Place parchment paper with overhanging edges on the bottom of the 9"x 9" pan (this will help when removing the crumble bar from the pan later). Grease the sides with cooking flour spray or butter.
    • In a medium size bowl: place in the graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and mix well. Then form the crumbs into the bottom of the pan (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help press down). Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes.

    Pumpkin Cheesecake

    • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
    • In a medium size bowl: add softened cream cheese and sugar. Whip until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract and whip until smooth. Add 1 egg and whip until smooth. Continue to add the other egg and continue to whip until smooth.
    • Remove the pan from freezer. Put half of the cream cheese mixture atop the graham cracker crust. Spread and level the cream cheese mixture using a silicone or cake spatula. Then gently jiggle to help settle and further level the mixture (this will help making a nice uniform and beautiful layer).
    • Add pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice to the other half of the cream cheese mixture. Mix well until it looks constant with no swirls. Use a ladle to place the pumpkin mixture over the previous white cream cheese layer. Then repeat steps to spread and level the upper most layer. Then very gently jiggle the pan until settled and level: (don't be too aggressive here and you will have a beautiful layer dish). Do not pour the upper layer directly over the cream cheese layer. This may result in layer inconsitencies. Watch the video for reference.
    • Place the pan in the middle of the oven rack. Bake for 45-50 minutes (mine took ~45 minutes). 
    • Remove the pan and let cool completely for at least 2 hours (room temperature). Then, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. Prior to serving, remove the cheesecake from the pan and then cut into 9 pieces. 

    Whipping Cream

    • In a bowl: add cold whipping cream, powdered sugar and maple syrup. Beat on medium until soft peaks form. Place the cream in a tipped pastry bag. Then decorate each bar with cream just prior to serving. 

    Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice. Serve and enjoy!
