✨This is my recipe for Caramelized Apple Crumble Cake, a soft and fluffy cake filled with caramelized apples, topped with buttery streusel and a sweet glaze✨ ~ Ingredients (9-inch cake) • 360 g all-purpose flour, sifted • 1½ tbsp baking powder • ¾ tsp salt • 1½ tsp cornstarch • 90 g light brown sugar • 90 g granulated sugar • 170 g unsalted butter, softened • 75 g neutral oil • 3 eggs + 1 egg white • 2 tbsp vanilla extract • 90 ml whole milk • 100 g Greek yogurt ~Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch cake pan. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cornstarch. Set aside. 3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar for 3–4 minutes until light and fluffy. 4. Add the oil and mix until combined. 5. Add the eggs and egg white one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract. 6. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and Greek yogurt. 7. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk and yogurt mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. 8. Mix just until combined. Avoid overmixing. ~Caramelized Apple Filling • 500 g apples, peeled and diced • 60 g unsalted butter • 75 g light brown sugar • 2 tsp ground cinnamon • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1 tsp lemon juice • 1½ tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbsp water ~Instructions 1. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. 2. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon juice and salt. 3. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften slightly but still hold their shape. 4. Mix the cornstarch with the water and add it to the apples. 5. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the juices become glossy and slightly thickened. 6. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely before assembling. ~Cinnamon Sugar Filling • 50 g light brown sugar • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon Mix together until evenly combined. ~Cinnamon Streusel Crumble • 100 g all-purpose flour • 65 g brown sugar • 50 g cold unsalted butter, cubed • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon • Optional: 1 tbsp chopped pecans ~Instructions 1. Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. 2. Rub in the cold butter until coarse crumbs form. 3. Refrigerate until ready to use. ~ Vanilla Donut Glaze • 200 g powdered sugar, sifted • 5 tbsp whole milk (add more if needed) • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1 tbsp honey (optional) ~Instructions 1. Whisk all ingredients until completely smooth. 2. The glaze should be thin, smooth and pourable, similar to a classic donut glaze. 3. Add more milk, ½ teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. 4. Pour over the completely cooled cake, allowing it to gently run down the sides. ~Assembly 1. Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. 2. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter. 3. Add half of the cooled caramelized apples in an even layer, leaving a small border around the edges. 4. Carefully spread the remaining cake batter over the apples. 5. Top with the remaining caramelized apples. 6. Sprinkle the cinnamon streusel generously over the top. 7. Bake for approximately 50–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out clean. 8. Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the vanilla donut glaze. #applecake #apples #cake #EasyRecipe #CapCut - @sweetconfection
