APPLE CRUMBLE CAKE

once I was talking about ice cream, and I said “more chunks mean more flavour!”, but today we are talking about crumbs, so more and more crumbs literally mean you can’t stop eating this cake. you’ll need mental strength and family help to don’t eat it all at once, so big warming here people.

when I was making my version of this cake I thought I would use just half of the crumbs, but who am I’m gonna lie? you never have enough crumbs, at least in this cake.

the little amount of cake batter with the apple dices and that huge quantity of crumbs makes this cake so interesting because of its texture. as well, the little amount of salt on the crumbs are the perfect combination to have good contrast with the sweetness of the fruit.

let’s bake!
