Ingredients

Crumb Topping

  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter, cold
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Cake

  • 2 eggs, large
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Apples

  • 2-3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

Apple Cider Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider or milk 
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Crumb Topping

  • Add flour, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon to a small dish. With your fingers, squeeze the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a crumbly pebble like texture. Set the topping into the refrigerator until ready to use.

Cake

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. 
In a stand mixer, add the sugar and eggs and beat on high speed until the mixture has slightly thickened and is paler in color.  Add the oil, sour cream and vanilla and beat at medium speed until blended. Add flour, salt and baking powder. Mix until incorporated.  

    Cut a sheet of piece of parchment paper and place it in the bottom pan of a springform pan. Place the cake pan ring on top of the bottom pan and seal the 2 parts of the pan together. The parchment will hang out of the bottom. With scissors, trim the paper slightly so there’s not too much paper hanging from the bottom. Spray the insides of the pan with baking spray.
    Spread 1/2 of the cake batter in the pan. Arrange 1/2 of the apples in a layer on top of the batter.  Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.  Sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture on top of the apples. Repeat this process a second time so that all of the batter, apples and sugar mixture is layered in the pan.  Sprinkle on all of the crumb topping on top of the apples. 


    Bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the topping and sides of the cake are browned.  Cool completely on a wire rack, then remove cake from the pan. 

Apple Cider Glaze

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, cider and vanilla extract.  Mix well, then drizzle on top of the cake, and serve.
