Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 2 whole Eggs (large)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture for the crumble topping.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg, sour cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The batter will be thick.

Step 5

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing down lightly to form a uniform base.

Step 6

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this mixture over the batter.

Step 7

Toss the sliced apples with ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Layer them evenly over the cream cheese mixture.

Step 8

Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture and chopped pecans (if using) over the apple layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden and the center is set.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
