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!
