Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, still warm
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups cake flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups diced peeled Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
Pinch of kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
One 15.25-ounce box yellow cake mix (plus required ingredients)
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • For the crumb topping: Whisk together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, apple pie spice and salt. Add the cake flour and stir with a wooden spoon until dough-like. Set aside in the fridge to cool for 20 minutes.
  • When cool, use your fingers to break apart the mixture into large pea-sized crumbs. Hold in the refrigerator.
  • For the sauteed apples: Heat a small saucepot over medium heat. Add the butter and heat until melted. Add the apples, brown sugar, apple pie spice and salt and saute until the apples are slightly browned and al dente, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Using 2 sheets of parchment, create an overlapping cross in the pan to cradle the cake and make it easy to remove once baked.
  • Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Add the cake batter to the prepared baking dish, then "stud" in a layer of the cooled apples. Bake for about 20 minutes, then remove the baking dish and carefully spread the crumb topping into an even layer over the cake. Bake until the crumbs are golden and a cake tester comes out clean, another 10 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 40 minutes. Once cooled, lift out of the pan using the parchment cradle. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups finely chopped toasted walnuts
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup plain yogurt
2 each Honeycrisp apples

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x12-inch baking dish generously.
  • Whisk flour, sea salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine walnuts, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until walnuts and sugar are thoroughly coated with butter.
  • Cream butter and sugar together in another bowl with a spatula until well blended. Add 1 egg and whisk until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in second egg until thoroughly incorporated. Add vanilla extract and yogurt; whisk together. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; whisk just until flour disappears. Do not overmix.
  • Remove cores from apples. Cut across into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices. Stack up a few slices, make 1 cut down the center, and dice across into cubes. Add to cake batter, folding in with a spatula until just combined.
  • Spread 1/2 of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter 1/2 of the crumble mixture evenly over the top. Top with the rest of the batter in dollops. Spread carefully to evenly distribute, trying not to disturb the crumbs. Top with the rest of the crumb mixture. Press crumbs into the batter very gently.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick or bamboo skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before slicing and serving.

Categories     Breads

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

18 1/2 ounces yellow cake mix
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup light sour cream
21 ounces apple pie filling
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, butter and 1 egg until crumbly; reserve 1/2 cup.
  • Press remaining crumb mixture into 8-inch square pan.
  • Blend remaining egg with sour cream; spoon over crust.
  • Stir apple filling with brown sugar and cinnamon, spoon over sour cream mixture.
  • Sprinkle with reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture.
  • Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is lightly browned.
  • Cool before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balanced flavor.
  • Make Sure Your Apples are Thinly Sliced: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use Cold Butter for the Crumble Topping: This will help the topping stay crumbly and prevent it from melting into the cake.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through without being overdone.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

This quick and easy apple crumb cake is a delicious treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or a snack. With its tender crumb, sweet apples, and crunchy topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
