Apple crumble cake

When it comes to cakes, I like mine gutsy and real. I can easily walk past a fine patisserie display of creamy layers, teetering chocolate or millefeuille madness, but show me a cake bursting with summer fruits, ground nuts or trails of messy brown sugar and the concept of ‘no’ escapes me. This is one of those cakes that I will always fall victim to. Packed with spicy apples and topped with a sweet brown sugar crumble, it’s a winner in my book.
