These apple crumble cake slices are the perfect way to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon cup of tea.
Traditional cinnamon and apple flavours are combined with soft sponge and topped with a crumble crumble in this delicious twist on an apple crumble recipe. In all other ways apart from shape, it’s much like a traditional apple crumble. It has the buttery, sugary, crunchy topping when you first bite into the slice, followed by the soft apples at the bottom. We’ve used cinnamon to give it that warming kick, too. However, these are sliced up into pieces so whether you’re looking for an afternoon snack or late-night treat, they’ll be the perfect thing.
