I have been craving a crumb cake, and this Apple Crumb Cake was so good with apples and cinnamon in every bite.
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and diced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Crumbs:
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter, cooled
- 3/4 cup flour
- Pinch salt
For the cake:
- 1 tablespoon nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch salt
Instructions
To make the filling:
- In a small bowl mix the diced apples, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and cinnamon and set aside.
To make the crumbs:
- Mix the sugars, cinnamon, salt, and butter until smooth. Whisk in the flour until the mixture becomes a solid dough, set aside.
To make the cake:
- Mix together the yogurt, vanilla and egg in a small bowl. In a large bowl sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the butter to the flour mixture and using an electric mixture, slowly whisk in the yogurt mixture.
To assemble the cakes:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
- Spoon enough batter to cover the bottom of each pan. Top with the apple mixture, and then the remaining cake batter.
- Break the crumbs into 1/2 inch thick pieces (they do not need to be even), and top the cake with the crumbs. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean – it will probably still be a little moist from the apples. Cool before serving.
