Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- For the crumb topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For the cinnamon drizzle:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 teaspoons milk
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until coarse crumbs form.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs with vanilla extract.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix until just combined. Fold in diced apples gently.
- Prepare crumb topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly.
- Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle crumb topping over the batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While baking, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon until smooth for the drizzle.
- Allow cake to cool slightly, then drizzle the cinnamon glaze on top. Let it cool completely for the topping to set.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a tangy flavor or sweeter varieties like Honeycrisp for a milder taste.
- If gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
- Ensure the crumb topping is well combined for a crunchy texture.
- Drizzle the glaze just before serving for the best appearance.
