This delicious Moist Apple Crumble Cake Recipe,  try bake is special made for all the apple desserts lovers. Made from a super moist base, filled with caramelised apple and topped with buttery crumble, this cake is going to be your new favourite fall dessert.

I have tried over the years the apple desert in any form possible,  is my husband favourited desert so I tested and tested.

Today’s recipe is special, well to be fair I did looked for something different,  that we never seen or eaten. So get ready for something you haven’t tried before.

I knew that we want a soft and moist base, then loads of apples with a nice cinnamon flavour,  all of that topped with a nice buttery crumble. That was what I had in mined and haven’t stopped until the perfect one come out of the oven.

I tested this one with friends,  but then I knew that somehow they will like it as we all love home made cakes. I needed someone with a different perspective.

My friend 12 years old girl who is not a big fan home made cakes, not the one with apples anyway was pleased. That pleased that asked me for the recipes so her mum to me it for her . Having this kind of feedback I know is good and tastes yummy.

Behind the Scenes of This Delicious Apple Crumble Cake:

When I started making this cake, I had in mind a combination of something traditionally Romanian.

A beautiful sponge cake, made with plenty of eggs, just like we do in Romania. Then, I wanted apples with a slight caramel flavour and a crumble topping, which isn’t at all Romanian.

In fact, I discovered it in the UK and fell in love with it instantly.

So, what is this cake made of?

Let me tell you how it’s done.

First, I peel the apples and cut them into small cubes—not too small, but not too large either. I drizzle them with a bit of lemon juice and then cook them in butter and sugar. It’s pure magic!

Next, we start with a generous, fluffy base. The eggs are beaten well and for a long time, together with sugar, salt, and vanilla essence, creating the perfect texture.

While the apples are cooling and the eggs are whipping into a fluffy foam, I turn my attention to the crumble.

To make the crumble, I combine cold butter, flour, sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon in a bowl. Using my fingers or a pastry cutter, I work the butter into the dry ingredients until it forms coarse crumbs. Then, I set it aside until it’s time to add it to the cake.

I know I don’t have many recipes on the blog yet, but I’m working hard to add more, as I dedicate part of my time to my little ones and my Romanian blog, which is called The Lemon Flavour (I know it has an English name, but I absolutely love it!). Although I’ve been able to write only a few recipes so far, I’d still recommend the following from my website:

• Perfect Moist Lemon Loaf Cake
• Oranges and Cocoa Pound Cake
• Moist and Healthy Carrot Muffins
• Rosemary Focaccia Bread
• Spicy Garlic Oil Pasta
• Quinoa Pomegranate Spinach Salad With Fresh Mint Dressing

Equipment

• Tray back 20x30 cm

Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 5 large eggs
• 300 g sugar
• 190 ml oil
• 250 g flour
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 spoons vanilla extract YES, tow

For the Crumble:

• 80 g flour
• 60 g sugar
• 50 g butter
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Caramelized Apples:

• 1.5 kg apples
• 100 g sugar
• 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 70 g butter

Instructions

• Prepare the Apples:Start by peeling and coring the apples, then cut them into small cubes. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent oxidation.
• Caramelize the Apples:In a pan, melt the butter, then add the sugar and let it cook for a few seconds. Add the apples and sauté them until they become soft. Depending on the size of the apple pieces, this will take about 10-15 minutes. Let the caramelized apples cool completely.
• For the Crumble:In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside until ready to use.
• Make the Cake Batter:In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and salt for about 7-8 minutes, or until fluffy. Add the oil and vanilla extract, then gradually fold in the flour mixture. Mix gently with a spatula to preserve the air incorporated into the eggs.
• Assemble the Cake:Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Top with the caramelized apples, then add small pieces of crumble by pinching them with your fingers.
• Bake:Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Enjoy!Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your moist apple crumble cake as a perfect autumn treat!
