Ingredients

CAKE BATTER

  • 3 cups of flour
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 ½ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 6 small apples cored peeled and diced (Honeycrisp, Fuji or Granny Smith)

CINNAMON CRUMB TOPPING

  • 1 cup of butter softened
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

SIMPLE GLAZE

  • 2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 5 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.

MAKE THE BATTER

  • Mix the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder together in a large bowl. Add the milk, eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined. Carefully pour in the melted butter and slowly stir just until combined. Pour the batter into a greased 9X13 pan and then evenly sprinkle the diced apples on top of the batter.

ADD THE TOPPING

  • In a separate bowl, mix the topping together. Drop scoops of topping evenly over the apples. Take a knife and drag it through the topping in a swirly motion to evenly distribute the topping throughout the apples and batter.

BAKE THE CAKE

  • Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Depending on how many apples you put in and how juicy they were, you may need to increase your time. If the top is getting too brown you can always tent it with foil for the last few minutes of baking.

ADD THE GLAZE

  • Once baked let sit for 20 minutes before pouring the glaze on top. To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk in a bowl and then drizzle over the partially cooled cake.
