Step 3: Make the Cake Batter
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Cake
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the apple mixture over the batter. Add remaining batter, then top with remaining apples.

Step 5: Add Crumb Topping and Bake
In a bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool slightly before glazing or serving.

Cooking Notes
Use firm apples that hold their shape when baked.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
Tent loosely with foil if topping browns too quickly.
Cake sets as it cools—allow resting time before slicing.
