Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 3 medium Apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Blend until just combined.

Step 6

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan.

Step 7

In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice and cinnamon to coat well. Arrange the apples over the cake batter in an even layer.

Step 8

For the crumble topping, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, and melted unsalted butter in a bowl until crumbly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
