Delicious apple cinnamon crumb cake is the perfect dessert for fall or great as a breakfast cake.
The best part of a crumb cake is that crumb topping! Not only do you have it on the top, but also layered between the cake and apple layers.
When you start to make this cake you will think that you don’t have enough cake batter, the first layer you put down will be really thin and then you will add crumbs and apples and top with the remaining cake batter. Don’t worry it will be enough, this cake is really dense and it doesn’t get too much of a rise but it is jam packed with flavor and you are doing a great job even though it looks different than most cakes do.
This cake fits perfectly in an 8-inch round pan. Â If you have a springform pan it will be even easier for you. Â If you don’t, no worries, just be sure to spray your pan really well and run a knife around the edges before taking out or you can just serve it right out of your pan.
And one more thing before I give you the recipe. Â When making your glaze, if you don’t have apple cider you can also use some apple juice and it will be just fine. Enjoy!
