We don’t use any additional ingredients, which is nice. Caramel Sauce – This is optional, but I think it makes the cake look fresh and pretty plus it’s great against the apples and cinnamon flavor.Cinnamon – I would highly recommend keeping this if you can, but if you can’t have cinnamon, the closest substitute would be nutmeg.If your flour is particularly lumpy, it can be sifted but not otherwise required. Flour – A good quality all-purpose flour is an easy addition.Milk – Offering up a creaminess that works with the baking soda and baking powder but not as much as buttermilk, so the cake stays velvety and dense to support the apple slices.Butter. Softened butter in the batter is reverse creamed, while melted butter in the crumb gives us that crumbly texture on the top that we all love.The combination of white and light brown sugar in the batter helps keep things sweet and moist. Sugar – I use both white sugar and light brown sugar in this recipe.You can slice or dice them, but I find dicing to be a little easier to cut the cake. Apples – Green Granny Smith are the quintessential baking apple, but you can also use other, sweeter apples like Gala or Honeycrisp.But more on that later… Ingredients and Notesīelow is an overview of what you will need to make these with notes to making the very best apple crumb cake.
