Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 3 Apples (each weighing around 150 g each, I used the Lady Pink variety)
- 3 Large eggs (each weighing around 50 g each)
- 80 g Plain flour
- 50 g Caster sugar
- 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon / Cinnamon Powder
- 60 ml Milk
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 30 g plain flour
- 30 g almond meal
- 20 g caster sugar
- 25 g unsalted butter
Instructions
- 1
To make the crumble: Place the flour and almond meal in a mixing bowl. Add cold diced butter into the bowl. Combine the butter with the flour and almond meal by squish and rubbing together with your fingertips to create a crumble or breadcrumb like texture.
- 2
Wrap the crumble mix with cling film and keep refrigerated until needed.
- 3
Prepare the baking tin by spreading a little unsalted butter thinly around the pan, then dust with about ½ tbsp. of caster sugar. Line with 8 x 36 cm baking paper strip along the edges of the pan.
- 4
Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius degrees (350 Fahrenheit).
- 5
Melt the butter and set aside.
- 6
Place the egg and sugar in a large mixing bowl and combine.
- 7
Add the cinnamon and flour into the mixing bowl and mix together.
- 8
Add the milk a small amount at a time, ensuring to stir well after each addition.
- 9
Add the melted butter to the mixture and mix well.
- 10
Slice the apples thinly (3 – 4 mm) and add them carefully into the mixture.
- 11
Coat the apple slices with the cake batter using a spatula in a gentle folding motion. Make sure not to break the apple slices into smaller pieces.
- 12
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, lining up the apple slices in the same direction (this will make the cut surface look pretty for presentation).
- 13
Sprinkle the crumble over the cake and bake it for about 40 minutes.
- 14
One cooked, take the cake out of the tin and let it cool down for a few minutes.
- 15
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing the cake to allow the cake to cool completely.

Sift the icing sugar over and slice to serve.
