Ingredients
    Main Cake
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g baker's measure)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder (6g baker's measure)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (2.8g baker's measure)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (13.63g baker's measure)
  • 3 tbsp sugar (37.5g baker's measure)
  • 3 tbsp butter (melted) (60g baker's measure)
  • 1/2 cup milk (120g baker's measure)
  • 1 1/2 cup sliced Pink Lady apple's (used 2)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (37.5g baker's measure)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (1.32g baker's measure)
  • 2/3 cup sour cream (163g baker's measure)
  • 1 egg (44g baker's measure)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (65g baker's measure)
    • Crumble Top
  • 1 cup flour (120g baker's measure)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (Used dark brown 100g baker's measure)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (2.64g baker's measure)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (2.85g baker's measure)
  • 1 stick butter (melted) (113g baker's measure)
  • 1/2 cup oats (40g baker's measure)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit. While this is heating up, grease a square pan (9x9x2) and set aside.
  2. In a small/medium bowl, combine flour, powder, salt, oil, sugar, butter, and milk until smooth. Spread in the pan until it touches all edges.
  3. Peel, core, and cut the apples thin and layer them on top of the batter. I used just 2 pink lady apples, but a third would be fine depending on the pan/ dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the second sugar with cinnamon until completely combined. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the apples. It may look like a lot but the apples will soak the sugar into them.
  5. In the same bowl you used for the batter, mix sour cream and the egg together until there are no streaks of the egg. Pour this over the sugared apples and level out evenly.
  6. In a separate small bowl, mix together the crumb topping ingredients until thick and one color. Crumble the topping on top of the layered apples until it is mostly covered in the crumb.
  7. Bake the cake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until all edges are light brown and the crumb is stiff and crumbly. Let rest for 10 minutes until about cool to the touch. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or as itself. If any leftovers remain, refrigerate in an airtight container.
Recipe Notes

To reheat, heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 5-8 minutes or until fully heated. Cut and serve. It also makes your entire home smell of fall!
