Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake
Description
Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake consists of a tender batter made from butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and sour cream combined with flour and leavening agents. Half of this batter is spread in a greased springform pan, topped with peeled and chopped apples and a cinnamon-spiced crumb mixture with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. The remaining batter and crumb topping cover the fruit layers. The layered cake bakes until golden and set.
The resulting cake offers tender crumb with pockets of soft apples and a sweet, fragrant spice crumble that adds texture contrast. A simple glaze made from powdered sugar and apple cider adds a sweet, tangy finish.
This cake works well for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy dessert. The cinnamon and apple combination delivers a classic seasonal flavor profile.
