Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake You Will Fall in Love With

This apple cinnamon crumb cake has been one of my familyโ€™s favorites since I can remember. It has a delicious topping that can be used for many flavors of cake. This cake is so absolutely delicious, it can even be served on its own without the topping.

๐Ÿค Many of you ask which products I use and recommend. This post contains some of my affiliate links for โ€œmaking every day the best dayโ€ while cooking, entertaining and living life.  If you buy something through one of these links, you wonโ€™t pay a penny more, but Iโ€™ll get a small commission which helps keep the lights on. Thanks!

And this recipe can easily be doubled and freezes extremely well. So double the recipe and make one with the topping and one without, and youโ€™ve got two different cakes as easy as 1, 2, 3!

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 packet baking powder (1 1/4 teaspoons or 5 grams)
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 1/2 apples ((I eat the other half ๐Ÿ˜‰))

Crunch Topping

  • 1 cup dark or light brown sugar ((We don't have that here, so I use Moscovado Sugar))

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Add flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and mix for two minutes.
  • While cake batter is mixing, peel and thinly slice an apple. Cut the slices in thirds.
  • Line your baking pan with baking paper to make for easy clean-up.
  • Pour into the pan of your choice and add the apple slices on top. With a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon, gently press the apple slices a bit into the batter. They should not be completely submerged.
  • Crunch Topping (optional):
  • Combine flour and cinnamon

  • Mix by hand until thoroughly combined

    Your family recipe looks delicious, thank you, I especially like the โ€˜clickโ€˜ faculty to double or triple the quantities. Itโ€™s not apple season in Australia, but of course theyโ€™re still in the shops, My favourite variety, which Iโ€™ve only seen at our local Farmerโ€™s Market, is Calville Blanc dโ€™Hiver, a lovely tart apple which is perfect for eating and for cooking… Iโ€™m printing your recipe!
