Description
A delicious homemade apple crumble cake featuring tart apples and a crumbly topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups apples (preferably tart varieties like Granny Smith), peeled and diced
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan.
- Prepare the Apples: Toss the diced apples with lemon juice, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
- Create the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup granulated sugar, eggs, milk, ½ cup melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Assemble the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Arrange the apple mixture evenly over the batter.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, ½ cup flour, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ cup melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
- Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- For an extra-nutty flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
- Ensure the apples are evenly coated with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Test for doneness with a toothpick to avoid an under-baked center.
