Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter the sides of an 8-inch (30 cm) springform pan with a removable bottom and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Step 2
To make the crumble, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and combine just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Set aside.
- Step 3
To create the apple filling, combine the diced and peeled apples, brown sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Set aside.
- Step 4
To make the cake, combine the flour, cinnamon and baking soda in a bowl.
- Step 5
In another bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients alternating with adding the sour cream until smooth.
- Step 6
Pour the batter into the springform pan. Drain the apple filling slightly and arrange it over the cake batter in the pan. Top with the crumble.
- Step 7
Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let cool slightly before unmoulding. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Step 8
Once the cake has completely cooled, generously dust with icing sugar and/or drizzle with caramel sauce.
