Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 120 grams Sourdough discard
• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 60 milliliters Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 pieces Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 60 grams Brown sugar (for crumble topping)
• 60 grams All-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
• 40 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for crumble topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round springform pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sourdough discard and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. Gently fold the apples into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

To make the crumble topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, cubed butter, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 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 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Slice and serve as is, or pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
