How to Prepare The Best Apple Crumb Cake:

  1. To prepare the apple pie with crumble start with the applesauce: peel the apples, cut them into quarters and remove the core 1, you will get about 220 g. Cut them into small pieces and pour them into a pan.
  2. Add granulated sugar, muscovado sugar, cinnamon, water and lemon juice.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring with a spoon occasionally until the apples are cooked. Transfer the cooked apples inside a pitcher and blend with an immersion blender.
  4. You should obtain a smooth, homogeneous puree . Cover with plastic wrap, let cool and then transfer to the refrigerator until used. Now deal with the crumble: in a bowl pour the oatmeal and almond flour.
  5. Add the salt and sugar, then pour in the warmed melted butter and coarsely chopped walnuts. Mix well to blend the ingredients.
  6. Spread the crumble on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for 2 hours. Move on to preparing the sour cream: pour the fresh cream, vinegar and milk into a bowl.
  7. Mix with a whisk and leave at room temperature for 20 minutes, without covering. After this time has passed, cover with foil and place in the refrigerator until used. At this point devote yourself to the dough: peel and chop the apples to obtain about 220 g, cut them into thin slices, about 3 mm thick.
  8. Place them in a bowl and keep them aside. In the bowl of a planetary mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, pour the room-temperature butter and sugar, then run on medium-high speed. Once a creamy consistency is achieved, turn off the machine occasionally to scrape up any remaining dough on the edges with the spatula. Pour in the eggs, one at a time.
