👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan. Set aside.
-
2
Prepare the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Add the cold butter pieces. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a fork, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.

3
Make the cake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
-
4
In the center of the dry ingredients, add the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk gently from the center outwards until just combined and a few lumps remain. Do not overmix.
-
5
Gently fold in the finely diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
6
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the prepared crumb topping generously over the batter.
-
7
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The topping should be golden brown and crisp.
-
8
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
💡 Notes
For best results, use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape when baked. This cake is delicious on its own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Store leftovers tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
