Cake Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cups unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups sour cream for moisture
  • 2 medium apples peeled, cored, and chopped (preferably Granny Smith)

Crumb Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 0.5 cups brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar

Cinnamon Apple Drizzle Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cake Batter

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in alternating batches with the sour cream, being careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Prepare the Crumb Topping

  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the cake batter, covering the entire surface.

Bake the Cake

  • Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Cinnamon Apple Drizzle

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, milk, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  • Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the warm cinnamon apple sauce over the top.

Notes

The apples provide natural sweetness and moisture, while the cinnamon enhances the flavors beautifully.
