Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  5. Combine flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon in another bowl.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  7. Fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed.
  8. Prepare the crumb topping by mixing brown sugar, oats, flour, cubed cold butter, and cinnamon until crumbly.
  9. Assemble the batter in the prepared cake pan and sprinkle the crumb topping on top.
  10. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  11. Drizzle the icing made from powdered sugar and milk over the cooled cake.

Notes

Use any type of apple you enjoy; Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are great options. For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
