<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nI’ve been working on my crumb cake recipe for years. Although I love my cinnamon swirl version<\/a>, apple crumb cake is my new favorite. I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s going to be my new starting place for any similar recipes. I’m already getting lots of ideas for other flavors to try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Here are a few things to keep in mind when gathering your ingredients for this recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, make the cake by creaming the butter and sugars together until they are light and fluffy. This takes about 3 minutes on high speed in an electric mixer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mix in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and add them a little bit at a time to to the wet ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spread the batter in a greased 9″ square pan. It shouldn’t go that far up the pan; it’s not a tall cake and you need room for the apples and crumbs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prepare the apples by peeling and roughly chopping them and tossing them in cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. Then, spread them out over the batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make the crumbs by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together with your hands until they come together as crumbs. Spread the crumbs over the apples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bake at 350 F for about one hour and set on the counter to cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mix apple cider and powdered sugar together until you have a thick glaze that drops slowly off of a spoon. Drizzle over the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is best eaten within 2 days. Don’t get me wrong – we store it in the fridge and have eaten in for up to a week – but after 2 days, the crumbs absorb too much of the moisture from the apples and get kind of mushy. It’s still delicious, but not quite as satisfying to eat.<\/p>

Yes! Just double the recipe.<\/p>

Sure! You can also replace the apples with pears if you prefer.<\/p>
