Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then set aside.
In a large bowl, beat 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Blend until just combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan.
In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice and cinnamon to coat well. Arrange the apples over the cake batter in an even layer.
For the crumble topping, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, and melted unsalted butter in a bowl until crumbly.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
