- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 0.5 cups light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 0.75 cups melted butter, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 0.75 cups whole milk.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the peeled and diced apples gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
To prepare the crumble topping, combine 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups light brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add 0.25 cups of cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter in the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
