A moist and tender apple cake with a delightful cinnamon crumble topping, served with a scoop of creamy vanilla bean ice cream.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped apples.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
To make the crumble topping: In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
