Iโve been sharing a lot of apple recipes this month and but I couldnโt help sharing this one that we just love. It takes apples and combines them with cake and the yummy crumble topping like in my apple crisp recipe. To make a yummy and delicious apple crumble cake recipe.
I think you could probably call this an apple coffee cake, it would be great for a breakfast treat or for dessert after dinner, itโs a pretty versatile recipe. If you wanted a caramel apple crumble cake, you could drizzle the apple crumble cake with this caramel sauce right before serving. I havenโt tried it yet, but how can you go wrong with caramel sauce?!

Making the Apple Crumble Cake Recipe
I like this recipe because you can make it in one bowl, making clean up easy too. Start by placing the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and diced apple into a medium bowl.
Measure the oil, milk or dairy-free milk, and the egg then add to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine but donโt over mix as it will make the cake tough.
Once the dry ingredients are well-incorporated place into a greased 9-inch square baking pan. Then set aside while you are making the crumble topping.
To Make the Crumble Topping
Add the brown sugar and flour into a small bowl. Cut in the butter or margarine until the pieces are about the size of peas.
Sprinkle on top of the cake batter and then bake, until golden brown and cooked through.
The apple crumble cake has a great smell to it as it bakes. Itโs a great combination of yummy cake with nice pieces of apple baked in and a yummy crunching topping. If you love cinnamon you can add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the crumble topping or even a little nutmeg or apple pie spice. It will make it even more delicious.

YUM! This apple crumble cake looks delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Shelly. ๐
This recipe turned better than I thought it might. I wasn’t really sure about the apple chunks being bigger, I thought they might make the cake soggy, but they didn’t. Which I was thankful for since my hubby and son won’t eat soggy foods. ๐
Iโm very new to baking and cooking by choice. I went many years without doing it so Iโm not so good at getting it right ๐ This recipe was so easy to follow. It was my first time making apple crumble cake and it turned out great. Thanks for your post!
