These apple crumble cake slices are the perfect way to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon cup of tea - if you're feeling really indulgent, serve with warm custard or cool cream.
This apple crumble slice brings crumble and cake together to make one mouthwatering dessert or afternoon treat.
Traditional cinnamon and apple flavours are combined with soft sponge and topped with a crumble in this delicious twist on an apple crumble recipe (opens in new tab). In all other ways apart from shape, it's much like a traditional apple crumble. It has a buttery, sugary, crunchy topping with soft apples at the bottom. We've used cinnamon to give it that warming kick, too. However, these are sliced up into pieces.

Method
First make the crumble by placing all the ingredients into a food processor and blitzing until it resembles breadcrumbs.
In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition.
Add the milk and vanilla and mix, then add the flour and mix until just combined and pour into the tin.
Peel, core and quarter the apples, and dice to about 3 mm cubes and lay the cubes over the top of the cake.
Sprinkle the crumble over the tops until evenly distributed.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully.
