Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 medium apples)
- 2 tablespoons Confectioners' sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set aside 1 cup of this mixture for the crumb topping.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold the diced apples into the batter and spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
Optional: Dust the top with confectioners' sugar before serving.
