Ingredients

APPLE CRISP CRUMB TOPPING:

• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon table salt
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and still warm
• 1 3/4 cups cake flour (7 ounces)
• 1 fuji apple, diced
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 3/4 cup regular oats

CAKE INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/4 cups cake flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon table salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, ¾ stick, cut into small pieces, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 1 fuji apple, diced
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Step-by-step Directions

1. Preparing the Apple Crisp Crumb Topping

Mix sugar, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, table salt, and melted butter in a bowl. Whisk until combined, then add cake flour and mix until it forms a dough ball. In a separate bowl, toss diced apple with cinnamon and oats, and set aside.

2. Making the Crumb Cake Batter

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Grease a cake pan with baking spray or butter and flour. In a stand mixer, blend the cake flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and table salt. Gradually add butter and mix until crumbly. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, buttermilk, diced apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix until fluffy.

3. Assembling and Baking the Cake

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Break the crumb topping into chunks and distribute over the batter. Spoon the apple-oat mixture over the crumb topping. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

Servings & Preparation Time

This recipe serves 8-10 people and typically requires about 20 minutes of preparation time, with an additional 55 minutes of baking time.

Tips for Storage & Reheating

• Allow the cake to cool completely before storing.
• Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.
• To reheat, warm slices in the microwave for a few seconds or in an oven preheated to 350 degrees until heated through.
