• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed

How to Make Caramel Apple Crumble Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together ¾ cup softened butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the diced apples gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
8. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup oats, ½ cup flour, ½ cup brown sugar, and ¼ cup melted butter to create the crumble topping. Mix until crumbly.
9. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the cake batter.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Once cooled, drizzle with caramel sauce and serve slices with whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
• Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
• Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the caramel drizzle to prevent it from melting away.

Easy Variations

• Substitute half of the apples with pears for a fruity twist.
• Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the crumble for extra crunch.
• Use a store-bought caramel sauce for quick assembly without sacrificing flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.
• A cup of spiced chai or apple cider to complement the flavors.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
