Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Make the crumb topping: In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Chill while preparing cake.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in sour cream and vanilla.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet until just combined. Fold in diced apples.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with crumb topping.
- Bake for 40β45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While baking, make the drizzle: In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook apples, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of water until apples are tender and the mixture is syrupy, about 5β7 minutes.
- Let cake cool slightly before drizzling warm cinnamon apple sauce over the top.
