  • 2.1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.6 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.6 tsp fine salt

Apple Layer

  • 2.5 cup peeled and chopped apples use firm, tart apples
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon

Vanilla Glaze

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and parchment-line a 9×13-inch pan.
  • Make the crumble: mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter until clumpy. Fold in pecans.
  • Toss apples with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Set aside to juice slightly.
  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy in a large bowl.
  • Beat in vanilla, then slowly stream in the beaten eggs until smooth.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the bowl with sour cream just until combined.
  • Spread batter in the pan. Spoon apples evenly over the top. Cover with the crumble.
  • Bake 43–48 minutes, until a tester comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool 20 minutes.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until pourable. Drizzle over warm cake, slice, and serve.

Notes

Swap pecans with walnuts or leave nuts out for a nut-free version. Add a pinch of cardamom for a bakery-style twist. Store covered at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze slices (without glaze) for up to 2 months.
