The perfect apple crumble cake (Streusel)

This is one of my favorite apple cake recipes and I am sharing this recipe with you today. 🥰 You need to save it and make yourself and your family happy.☺️

It’s a great combination of the apples, cinnamon and a slight note of lemons, which makes this cake sooo good.

Recipe for 1 perfect apple crumble cake

  • Pie Crust
  • 285 gr of flour
  • 15 gr cornstarch or vanilla pudding powder
  • 150 gr of unsalted butter
  • 110 gr sugar
  • 2 packages of vanilla sugar (16gr)
  • ( optional 1 extra teaspoon of vanilla extract- I always take it)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp of lemon zest
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Mix it all and put it into a round , greased cooking/tart pan~ 26 cm. And use a fork to poke some wholes into the bottom of the dough. Then the dough will not rise in the oven.
Cool dough for 30 minutes.

3-4 medium sized apples

Cut about 600-700 gr. of apples into slices and put it onto the dough. Go crazy, these don’t need to be accurate, since those are entirely covered up by a wonderful layer of crumbs.

  • Crumbl/Streusel:
  • 100 gr of flour
  • 80 gr of ground nuts( I used almonds)
  • 80 gr of unsalted butter
  • 80 gr of white sugar
  • 20 gr of brown sugar — You can also just use white sugar. Then it would be 100 gr.
  • 1/2 tsp of Vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Knead this together- preferably with your hands, since this creates the nicest crumbs. Cover the apples with the streusel.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes at 180°. You should check on the cake after 30- 35 minutes and check that amazing smell coming from the oven. Additionally, you might want to add another baking paper on top of the cake, so the crumbls do not turn too brown.

This cake, out of the oven, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Happiness in every bite. HEAVENLY.
