Ingredients

Cake:

1 stick plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups peeled, cored and chopped apples

Crumble Topping:

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Brown Sugar Glaze:

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish with 2 teaspoons of the butter.

In a large bowl, cream together the remaining stick of butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after the addition of each. In a separate bowl or on a piece of parchment, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream and vanilla. Fold in the apples. Pour into the prepared baking dish, spreading out to the edges.

To make the topping, in a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter, and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping over the cake and bake until golden brown and set, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes.

To make the glaze, in a bowl, combine the sugar, vanilla, and water and mix until smooth. Drizzle the cake with the glaze and let harden slightly. Serve warm.

Wonderful, with a few variantions....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Simply wonderful. I used more apples and varied the varieties. I used fresh nutmeg in the cake mix, as well as the crumb... topping. I wanted an intense apple flavor so substituted fresh apple juice in place of the water for the glaze. A very professional outcome, many thanks indeed.Read more

GREAT with some minor changes!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

this cake was DELICIOUS. however, i had to make a few small changes. I used three cups of apples instead of two, used only... one cup of sugar for the cake part, and melted the glaze before putting it on the cake. It turned out delicious and moist, but even with the less sugar, still very sweet. I could take or leave the glaze, depending on how sweet you like your cakes. Read more

THE APPLE CRUMB CAKE EVER
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I TOOK THIS TO A NEW YEARS PARTY WE WENT TO. EVERYONE THERE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. THEY KEPT SAYING HOW EXCELLENT IT WAS AND... HOW PERFECTLY MOIST IT TURNED OUT. I DID LEAVE IT IN THE OVEN FOR ABOUT 10-15 MIN. LONGER THEN IT SAID. i ALSO TOOK SOMEONES ADVICE ABOUT HEATING THE SUGAR FOR THE GLAZE AND IT TURNED OUT PERFECTLY. I DO ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE GLAZE MADE IT 10X BETTER. DONT LEAVE OUT THE GLAZE. ITS THE BEST EVER.Read more

Terrific coffee cake!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I served this Christmas morning and everyone loved it!! I followed some of the previous suggestions and added 1/2 c. extra... flour, a pinch more cinnamon and I skipped the glaze completely. The cake was moist, flavorful and delicious on its own. This recipe is a keeper. Read more

Awesome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for Christmas morning brunch and everyone was impressed! I left out the glaze and it still tasted great. I will... probably add more apples next time, but it would taste good without them as well. I also used a bit more cinnamon than the recipe called for. Great cake and easy to make!Read more

One of the Best Coffee Cakes I've Ever Had
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This cake was great but the moistness made it incredible! The flavors were just right and I still can't get over how... wonderfully moist it was...I've NEVER had a coffee cake with texture that great. Some of them feel like you have gravel in your mouth! I followed the recipe exactly, however, I left out the brown sugar glaze...I think the glaze would have definitely been overkill. Delicious!Read more
