Equipment

  • 8 inch springform pan

Ingredients
  

For cinnamon streusel crumb

  • 1.5 cups flour
  • 0.5 cups brown sugar
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 0.5 cups butter melted
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 large tart apple peeled and chopped

For the cake

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 1 cups flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder

Apple cider glaze

  • 0.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons apple cider

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease 8 inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper, set aside.
  • To make cinnamon streusel crumb, first in a bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Then add melted butter and vanilla and stir until the mixture is evenly moist, set aside, too.
  • To make the cake in a large bowl, cream together 4 tablespoon butter with ½ cup sugar until light and fluffy, then add egg and beat well. Finally, add vanilla and sour cream and beat again.
  • In another bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder and add to the butter mixture, stir until just combined.
  • Spread half the batter at the bottom of the pan (it will be a very thin layer). Spread the apple chunks evenly over the batter, then sprinkle about 1 cup of the cinnamon streusel crumbs over the apples. Spread the remaining batter over the crumbs and on top spread the rest of the cinnamon streusel.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Before removing the ring of springform pan run a thin knife around the cake.
  • To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar with apple cider and drizzle over the cake.
