This easy moist Quick apple buttery crumb cake is a perfect way to use apple! For a breakfast/brunch treat, afternoon coffee or after dinner sweet.
This simple and practical recipe is made with a crumbled batter made with a mixture of flour, butter and sugar. Just mix up the batter with a spoon, fill it with sliced apples, top with the sugary cinnamon mix, and pop it in the oven. You’ll be eating apple cake in less than an hour after you’ve pulled out the ingredients. My mom used to make it every time one of her grandchildren arrived at her home.
No need to let the cake cool, so just cut fat slices while it is still warm and fragrant.
You can always serve hot with a scoop of ice cream.
It can be done with the fruit of your choice, in my opinion it is better with banana or apple.
