Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F. Coat the inside and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar.

   In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer, about 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue mixing until fully incorporated.

4. 4

   Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix gently to combine- the batter will be thick. Fold in the apples.

5. 5

   Scrape the batter into the pan.

   For the crumble topping, add all of the ingredients into a small bowl. Mix with your fingers until small crumbles start to form. Scatter evenly over the top of the cake.
