Ingredients
Crumb
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 8 tablespoon butter, unsalted and melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cake
- 4 tablespoon butter, unsalted and softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, room temp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups peeled apples, grated (I used gala and granny smith)
- 2 cups peeled apples, chopped small (I used gala and Fiji)
Apple Cider Glaze
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1–2 tablespoon apple cider
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, rack in the middle.
- Spray an 8” spring form pan and line the bottom with parchment.
- In a bowl make the crumb mixture by adding all of those ingredients and mixing with a fork until all ingredient are coated and you have chunks. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the dry ingredients of the cake – flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment add in the butter and sugar. Start of on low and increase slowly to medium. Beat for 5 minutes.
- Reduce the speed on the mixer and add in the egg, sour cream and vanilla and mix just to combine.
- With the mixer running on low, slowly add in the dry cake ingredients in batches.
- When the last of the dry ingredients are in and barely mixed, shut off the mixer.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer, scrape down the sides and dump in the grated apples.
- Gently fold in the apples.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
- Top with the chopped apples.
- Follow that with 1 cup of the streusel and the rest of the batter.
- Finish it off with the rest of the streusel.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean (a few crumbs are ok).
- Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Once the cake is cool then remove it from the pan.
- Whisk together the glaze ingredients to desired consistency (I like mine thicker so I go with less liquid) and then drizzle over top the cake.
