Make the crumb topping

Make the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Using a large piece of parchment, cover the bottom and sides of a 10 inch round cake pan. Make sure the parchment is hanging off the sides.

- In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and apples. Mix together well.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry one and mix with a spatula.
- Spread mixture in the prepared cake pan.
- Spread crumb topping evenly, pressing it lightly into the batter.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes.
- Allow to cool down in the pan for 15 minutes before attempting to remove.
- Place on a wire rack and let it cool completely for 30 minutes more.
Notes
- Apple cinnamon crumb cake can also be made in a square brownie type pan and cut into squares.
- A springform pan can be used in place of a round cake pan for easy side removal.
- You can use any apples you like, or even a combination of apples. We love using granny smith apples.
- A simple sugar icing can be made by mixing powdered sugar with a little milk or water until desired consistency and flavored with a touch of vanilla or lemon zest.
- Apple crumb cake can served with a drizzle of sugar icing, a dollop of store-bought whipped topping or even a homemade Chantilly cream.
- Take it to the next level with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Creamy caramel sauce can be poured on top before serving as well.
- Leftover apple cinnamon crumb cake can be wrapped and kept in your refrigerator for up to 5 days.
