apple crumb cake

<p>A perfectly spiced cake loaded with apples, a streusel topping, and a maple glaze for some tasty fall baking!</p>

Almond Flour Apple Crumb Cake

almond flour

tapioca starch

cinnamon

Teaspoon sea salt

Teaspoons baking powder, see notes

Teaspoon baking soda

lemon

Grade B maple syrup

eggs

Tablespoon melted ghee, butter, or avocado oil

Tablespoon vanilla extract

Tablespoons tapioca starch

pecans, raw/unsalted

Teaspoon cinnamon

sea salt

Tablespoons avocado oil

Tablespoons Grade B maple syrup

maple

Tablespoons salted butter, oil

Teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a 11&#8243;x7&#8243; baking dish, (4-5&#8243; deep).

Whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, cinnamon, sea salt, baking powder, and baking soda until no lumps remain. Stir in the lemon zest, then add the maple syrup, eggs, melted ghee/butter/avocado oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined, then stir in the apples.

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl stir together the ingredients for the streusel topping until combined. Using your hands, crumble the streusel topping evenly over the cake.

Bake the cake until puffed and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with moist crumbs.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature on a cooling rack before frosting it.

For the frosting, start by placing the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook swirling it around the bottom until it smells toasty and has browned, 2-3 minutes, (skip this step if using ghee or avocado oil). Add it to the sifted powdered sugar along with the maple syrup, pinch of salt, and vanilla extract. 

Stir to combine, then drizzle it evenly over the cake. Serve within the first day for the best texture, although we enjoyed this cake for 3 days before it started to be a bit dry.

I love the almond flour in here for flavor purposes but also because it makes it a little bit healthier!

I've made it in a tube pan  with no problem

I is a hit. Delicious and easy.  I give a 5 star, but not able. *****

We have have an apple tree in our yard and have a bumper crop this year .  I made this today and it was awesome !!!

I don't have a 8 inch spring pan. Could I use a 9 inch? And do I need to add more ingredients?

I made this cake in a 9 inch springform pan. Instead of layering I put cake batter first then apples next and topped with crumb mixture.  Baked 35 min, came out perfect.  Topped with a salted caramel glaze! So delicious!!

I just assembled this and also found it very difficult to spread the batter (both the bottom and top.) Actually the top was harder since it was over the crumbs. I'm sure it will come out fine, but if it is a hit I am going to try to double the batter next time. Thanks :)

This was the best cake in the world! The only things I added was I used 2 large apples (an apple per layer, because I can't get enough apples!) and I made this cinnamon brown sugar glaze thing by melting 4 tbs of butter and adding the brown sugar and cinnamon to my liking. I just spread this mixture on top of the batter for each layer before adding the apples and crumbs. I found that this helped with spreading the top layer. Also, I added about 1/4-1/2 a cup of buttermilk because I thought my batter looked a bit dry.

Super simple to make and smells heavenly as it bakes. Great texture and flavor. 5 stars!

It was very fun to make and is in the oven right now! I'm excited to see how it turns out! Can you do something different for the glaze? Can you do something without the apple cider?

This cake was amazing!  I took the advice of someone below who said to put more apples (almost one on each layer) and a cinnamon, Sugar, and butter drizzle on each layer (4T butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 t cinnamon), and double the batter or it won't be enough to spread. I actually tripled the recipe for a 9x13 pan. It makes a big cake but that's how we like it at my house. It cooked for almost an hour and a half. Amazing!  Make this cake!  Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This was delicious!  Followed the recipe exactly and didn’t have any issues with the amount of batter.  I used a small offset spatula and put the batter on in spoonfuls all over the pan which makes it easier to spread.  Will make3 this again and again.

Absolutely fabulous!! Doubled the crumbs, tripled the batter and subbed ripe pears for apples. I folded the fruit into the dough. Baked in a 13x9 springform pan for 45 minutes couldn’t have turned out better. Will definitely be making this one again.

This recipe is great! I invited friends over for coffee and dessert. This apple crumb cake did not last more then 20 mins. I would however make an extra layer next time to make it thicker.

Thank you for sharing!

I substituted gluten free flour and added 1/4 tsp xanthum gum. It came out so great, really delicious. I highly recommend this recipe.

I made this today. It was awful. So disappointed.

I just want to say it looks so delicious i will make for my family!

This is the second recipe I've made off your blog in 3 days and it is fantastic!!! I only have a 9 inch spring form pan, so I doubled the recipe and had no issues. Took 45 mins to bake. I'm thinking I'm going to spend the next few months baking through your blog! All of your pictures look great, and they catch my eye, which is why I tried the recipes!!

O.M. G.  I was craving dessert but also wanted to make this for my boyfriend because he LOVES coffee cake and to have something quick for breakfast before work. So I made this tonight so it’s ready tomorrow and I just had to try a slice right after it came out of the oven! I subbed vegan butter and vanilla Greek yogurt and it’s just so rich and moist and soft! I can’t even describe it! I also used vanilla almond milk instead of apple cider vinegar. And it just came out amazing. First time ever making a crumb/coffee cake and this will be my go to recipe! Thank you!!

hey i made this recipe and found great taste, thanks for sharing recipe

Just made this and it came out delicious, I didn’t make the drizzle on here I made my own cream cheese drizzle, and added extra apples to the first and second layer! Although it took longer to bake than recommend it took me about 1hr 15 mins.  Either than that I would absolutely recommend this tasty recipe!

This was absolutely delicious!!! My husband and I really enjoyed it and I will be making it again in the near future. I too thought the batter was thick and hard to spread, especially over the crumb mixture, but it worked out

Hi Vera, I just made your Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake and it tastes lovely. Not sure why my drizzle disappeared into the cake. It’s hardly noticeable. What did I do wrong? Would love to show you a photo of it but not sure how to post it.

Warm Apple Crumb Cake is brimming with sweet apples and a crunchy double cinnamon streusel topping.  Perfect for welcoming guests or an overnight breakfast to look forward to, this cake is soft, perfectly spiced, and drizzled with caramel sauce.

Apple Crumb Cake

All-Purpose Flour

White Sugar

Brown Sugar

tsp Baking Soda

tsp Baking Powder

Salt

tsp Ground Cinnamon

Butter (softened)

Milk

Eggs

tsp Vanilla Extract

Granny Smith Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced or diced)

All Purpose Flour

Cinnamon

Butter

Caramel Sauce (Optional)

For the streusel, stir together 1.5 cup All Purpose Flour, 1/4 cup White Sugar, 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar, 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon, and 1 tsp Baking Powder. Using a pastry blender or your hands, mix in 6 Tbsp Butter until the streusel is crumbly and well mixed.

For the crumb topping

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 9x9 pan or a 9-inch springform pan.

In a large bowl for an electric or stand mixer, 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, 1/4 cup White Sugar, 1/2 tsp Baking Soda, 1 tsp Baking Powder, 1/4 tsp Salt, and 1 tsp Cinnamon. Mix at medium speed until combined.

To the flour mixture, add butter 1 tablespoon at a time, not adding the next tablespoon until the previous has been well mixed. Once all butter has been added, mixture will resemble coarse sandy crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Milk, 2 Eggs and 1 tsp Vanilla Extract until mostly smooth. Turn mixer speed to low and slowly add the wet mixture into batter. Stir to combine, scraping the sides and bottom as needed.

For the Cake

Spread 1/2 the batter into prepared pan. Layer 1/2 of 2 Granny Smith Apples (diced) over the top and sprinkle with a few handfuls of the topping mix. Dollop the rest of the batter and spread it out. The batter may not completely cover the apples and that is fine.

Spread the rest of the apples evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining crumb topping. You want a mixture of larger chunks and finer crumbs for the best texture of crumb topping.

Bake 45-55 minutes or until the streusel topping is browned and the center is firm. After cooling, drizzle with CaramelCaramel Sauce if desired.

Assembly and Baking

I love this recipe. I added toasted pecans on top of the caramel sauce, and, it was a major hit!!!! Thank you .

Apples, caramel &amp; cinnamon- all my favorite fall flavors baked into a cake we can eat for breakfast! Heaven is real.

I'm a sucker for anything Streusel. Delish!

I made this for my book club last week and not a crumb was left. Reminded me so much of something my grandma used to make. Thanks for the share!

This is good but my husband felt was lacking flavor. Next time I may substitute the water with apple juice, more cinnamon and some nutmeg.

This was a real hit! I have a nut aversion, so instead of mixing the pecans in the batter, I  sprinkled them on top at the end (leaving a corner free of nuts). Instead of sprinkling the brown sugar etc. on top of the apples in the pan, I rolled the apples in the butter mixture in a bowl (including the vanilla). I later rolled the nuts in the same bowl, so that they were coated with this tasty delight, before sprinkling the nuts on top. Worked well! Kept an eye on things during baking, because the nuts brown from the butter so it's a fine line between browning and burning.

This coffee cake recipe seems really delicious, I'll definitely try it for weekend snack. I'll be adding lion's mane mushroom powder for the protein and health boost.

I made this last night for a dinner party dessert and added ice cream. It was amazing and everyone asked for the recipe! Thanks for making me the party hero!

Love the apple cinnamon flavor! The streusel topping is the best too!
