This delightful dessert combines the warm flavors of spiced apples with a moist, tender cake base. Topped with a buttery, crunchy streusel, it’s perfect for cozy gatherings or a sweet treat any day.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a food processor, combine the flour, brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Pulse a few times until everything is mixed together. Then, slowly add the butter, pulsing between additions, until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits. Take half of this mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 9-inch springform pan. Set the rest aside for later.
In a large bowl, toss the apples with the Stevia In The Raw®, cornstarch, and the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon until the apples are well coated. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust in the pan. Sprinkle the leftover crumb mixture evenly on top of the apples.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet with sides to catch any drips, then bake for about 60 to 70 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely golden brown. Once it’s done, take it out and run a knife around the edge to loosen the cake from the pan. Let it cool completely before removing the springform ring and serving.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
- Make sure your butter is cold when preparing the streusel to get a crumbly texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
This dessert combines the comforting flavors of apple pie with the soft, moist texture of cake. The crunchy streusel topping adds a delightful contrast that keeps every bite interesting. It’s perfect for cozy gatherings or a sweet treat any time of year.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. A drizzle of caramel sauce also pairs wonderfully and adds extra richness to each slice.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, keep it refrigerated and bring it to room temperature before serving to enjoy the best texture.
