Ingredients
Cake Layer
- 1 tick unsalted butter - softened
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs - room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
Apple Layer
- 1 ½ cups apple peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Crumb Layer
- 1 tick unsalted butter melted and cooled
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Cream softened butter and sugar together for the cake layer with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer paddle attachment. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Then, mix in sour cream.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix dry ingredients into wet with the electric mixer. Until just combined - be careful not to over mix. Set batter aside
- Mix apples, cornstarch and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- For the crumb layer mix all ingredients together in a bowl until a crumby, wet sand like texture remains. I find its best to use your hands to mix.
- Assemble crumb cake in the 8x8 baking pan first with the cake layer, then the apple layer and finally the crumb layer on top.
- Place in the oven to bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes. Check that cake is full baked by inserting a toothpick into the cake layer - it should come out clean from the cake layer, but there will be a gooey middle apple layer.
- Cool completely before dusting the top with powdered sugar and cutting into squares.
