Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Apples, peeled and diced (preferably Granny Smith)

- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted (for crumb topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 0.5 cup brown sugar, 2.5 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed with an electric mixer until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
To make the crumb topping, combine 1 cup flour, 0.5 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a smaller bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
