  • 200 g dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 85 g butter (room temperature)
  • 340 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 125 g butter (room temperature)
  • 225 g granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 225 g sour cream (14-18%, room temperature)
  • 40 g vegetable oil (e.g., canola oil)
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 125 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp sour cream

Instructions

  1. Begin by dicing the apples and tossing them in sugar and cinnamon; let them sit for 10 minutes.
  2. For the crumb topping, mix flour, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time followed by sour cream and vegetable oil.
  4. Fold in the apples gently into the batter. Layer half of the batter in a greased pan, add half of the crumb topping, then layer remaining batter followed by the rest of the topping.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Prepare the maple glaze while cooling; whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, sour cream, vanilla extract, and water to desired consistency.
