Apple Crumble Cake with Cider Glaze is an absolutely decadent recipe that is well worth the time and effort to make for your family and friends. This Apple Crumble Cake is one of my mom’s favorite recipes I have ever made! We like it better than apple pie, and that is saying a lot because we love apple pie.
Step 1: Chop the apples. A tart, firm apple works best for this recipe to balance out the sweetness of the topping.
Step 2: Prepare the crumb mixture, which serves as the base as well as the topping. This is what makes the recipe so amazing!
Step 3: Create the dough and scoop into baking pan.
Step 4: Top with apples, then streusel, then bake.
Step 5: While your cake is baking, prepare Apple Cider Glaze.

If you are a person who feels like you almost can’t get enough crunchy stuff on top, this is the recipe for you!
Step 6: Drizzle with Glaze. My family loved the glaze. It’s really good, but I have to say I almost liked the cake without the glaze better, because it made the topping a little less crunchy. Try it yourself both ways and see what you think. Either way, this recipe is amazing.
