A soft, moist, and flavorful apple crumb cake topped off with a crumbly cinnamon streusel. It makes a tasty breakfast treat or dessert, especially during fall!
Using a spatula, gradually add dry ingredients and wet and stir until just combined-- do not over-mix!
Fold in apple pieces and pour batter evenly into prepared pan. Set aside and prepare your streusel.
1 ½ cups diced, peeled apples
Streusel
Prepare the crumble topping by whisking together flour, sugars, cinnamon and salt.
1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup light brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt
Pour the melted butter into the mixture and, using a fork, stir until crumbles form. Evenly sprinkle streusel over batter.
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter
Transfer pan to oven and bake on 350F (175C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before adding vanilla glaze.
Vanilla Glaze
If desired, make glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Start with 2 teaspoons of milk and add a third if it isn't thin enough to drizzle.
½ cup powdered sugar, 2-3 teaspoons milk, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Drizzle over cooled cake. Allow glaze to harden, slice, and enjoy!
