Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple filling by dicing the apples and mixing them with granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  2. Make the crumb topping by combining flour, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon; cut in room-temperature butter until crumbly.
  3. For the cake batter, whisk together dry ingredients. Cream butter and sugar, then add eggs one at a time along with sour cream, oil, and vanilla. Combine with dry ingredients.
