Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 c. Imperial Sugar granulated sugar
- ½ c. vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 c. chopped apples, peeled and semi-sweet
- ½ c. butterscotch chips
- 1/2 c. Imperial Sugar confectioners powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
For the Crumb:
- ¾ c. all-purpose flour
- ½ c. brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 5 Tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
To make the crumb topping:
Mix flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl.
Stir in butter. The mixture should begin to form crumbly balls. You may have to use your hands to press the mixture into balls. If balls do not begin to form, add more butter, one (1) tablespoon at a time—no more than two (2) tablespoons.
To make the cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or use a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add sugar, oil, and eggs; stir using a spoon or spatula into dry ingredients until mixed well.
Fold in apples and ¼ cup butterscotch chips.
Pour into a baking dish or pan and sprinkle with the remaining butterscotch chips.
Add the crumb topping before placing the cake in the oven to bake. See Notes for ingredients and instructions.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. If using a springform pan, remove the ring after 10 minutes and allow to finish cooling for 10 minutes.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar with apple cider and drizzle over the cake.
