Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Peel, core, and slice 3-4 large apples into thin pieces and toss with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.
  2. Cream together ½ cup of softened butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate 2 eggs one at a time, then gradually add 1 ½ cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Gently fold the prepared apple slices into the cake batter.
  4. Mix together ½ cup flour and ½ cup brown sugar, then cut in ¼ cup cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs for the crumb topping.
  5. Pour the apple-infused batter into a greased 9-inch square baking pan and sprinkle the crumb topping over it. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Prepare the drizzle by combining ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ cup cream in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth and slightly thickened.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before drizzling the cinnamon apple sauce over the top and serving.
