Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, egg, and light brown sugar until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
For the crumble topping, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the cake batter.
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice and enjoy your low-fat classic crumble cake as a delightful tea-time treat or a light dessert.
