Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 0.5 cups butter, soft but not melted
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla

Cake

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cups sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced about 300 g total
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Crumb Topping

  • In a medium size mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Stir in the flour and cinnamon. You’ll notice clusters forming. Refrigerate the topping for about 30 minutes while you prepare the cake.

Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a 9-inch deep dish pie pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 mins.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and beat on medium-high speed until smooth.
  • With the mixer on low speed, stir in the flour mixture.
  • Fold in the sour cream. Batter will be thick. Set aside while you prepare the apples.
  • In a small bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Toss to coat.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Place half of the sliced apples on top in an even layer.
  • Gently spread the remainder of the batter on top of the apples.
  • Cover the batter with the second half of the apple slices, followed by the crumble topping.
  • Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs on it.
  • Cool completely.

Glaze

  • Combine the ingredients together for the glaze and drizzle on the cake when the cake has cooled.

Notes

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning.
