- Pour the wet ingredients and the flax egg into the dry and stir until just combined. Add the apple slices and stir until they’re fully coated. Pour into the cake pan and make sure it’s spread out evenly in the pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crumble topping ingredients. It will look more like a paste than crumbly. Evenly drop it by the spoonful over the top. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
