Apple Crumb Cake
Description
Apple Crumb Cake features a batter mixing melted butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream combined with flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, folded with peeled diced apples. The mix yields a moist cake with tender fruit pieces throughout.
On top, a cinnamon-spiced streusel made from flour, sugars, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter is sprinkled over the batter before baking, providing a crisp, sweet contrast once baked at 350°F (175°C) for about 45-50 minutes. After cooling, an optional vanilla glaze made with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract adds a delicate sweetness and shine.
This cake serves well for breakfast, brunch, or as a dessert, with its balance of soft cake crumb and sweet crunchy topping. The warm cinnamon and apple flavor combination adds seasonal appeal.
The cake can be kept covered at room temperature for up to three days or tightly wrapped and frozen for one to two months. Cooling completely before glazing ensures the glaze sets properly without melting.

Vanilla Glaze
