Number Of Ingredients 12

CRUMBLE TOPPING:
4 ounces butter, plus extra for greasing
5 ounces soft light brown sugar
2 large free range eggs
7 ounces plain flour, sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11 ounces peeled, cored and sliced cooking apple (Shouldn't be more than one large apple)
2 ounces vanilla sugar (or substitute caster sugar)
2 ounces plain flour
2 ounces butter

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 360°F, grease and line a 8-inch cake tin with a removable base. With an electric hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until pale. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until they are incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until you have a thick cake batter. Stir in the apple slices and pour the batter into the cake tin. The batter will be thick, so use a spatula to spread across the base of the tin. Using a hand blender with a food processor attachment, blend the ingredients for the crumble topping until you get left with rough crumbs. You can also do this by hand in a bowl using your fingertips to combine the ingredients together. Sprinkle the crumble topping on top of the batter. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
