Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 apples
- 2 eggs
- 250 grams butter
- 300 grams plain flour
- 440 grams sugar
- 110 grams brown sugar
Spices and Raising Agent:
- 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
- 2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping and Serving Ingredients:
- 45 grams rolled oats
- 25 grams butter
- Ice cream (to serve)
- Caramel sauce (to serve)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 180°C with fan setting. Prepare a 23cm springform tin by lining and greasing it thoroughly.
- Create the crumble topping by processing ingredients until they form a coarse, textured mixture. Reserve the topping for later use.
- Use the food processor to finely chop apples, then incorporate eggs, sugar, baking soda, aromatic spices, softened butter, and flour. Mix briefly to combine without over-processing.
- Transfer the cake batter into the prepared springform tin, ensuring even distribution. Generously sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture across the top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center – it should emerge clean with no raw batter.
- Allow the cake to rest in the tin for 10 minutes, which helps it set. Then carefully remove and transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Serve the cake at room temperature, accompanied by a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of rich caramel sauce, or indulge in both for an extra decadent dessert experience.
Notes
- Adapt the cake for gluten-sensitive individuals by substituting regular flour with almond or oat flour for a celiac-friendly version.
- Create a lower-sugar alternative by using monk fruit sweetener or reducing sugar content by 25% without compromising the cake’s delightful texture.
- Enhance the apple flavor by selecting tart varieties like Granny Smith or Braeburn, which provide a wonderful balance against the sweet crumble topping.
- Maximize moisture by ensuring apples are finely chopped and evenly distributed throughout the batter, preventing dry pockets in the cake.
