Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 small or 3 large red gala apples (diced)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 120 g all-purpose flour
  • 200 g dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 85 g butter (room temperature)
  • 340 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 125 g butter (room temperature)
  • 225 g granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 225 g sour cream (room temperature)
  • 40 g vegetable oil (e.g. canola oil)
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 125 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tsp water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a greased baking pan.
  2. Peel and dice the apples; mix with granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  3. For the crumb topping, combine all-purpose flour, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly.
  4. In another bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then sour cream, oil, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually combine dry ingredients into the wet mixture; fold in apples. Layer half the batter in the pan, sprinkle half the crumb topping, add remaining batter, and top with more crumbs.
  6. Bake for about 70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, sour cream, vanilla extract, and water; drizzle over cooled cake.
