Steps:
- Heat the oven to 170c / 150c fan /Gas Mark 4. Butter and line a 20cm round tin with greaseproof paper, grease again to prevent the cake sticking.
- To make the topping, melt the butter, then mix in the granola, stir until well mixed and set aside. In a large shallow pan heat 25g butter, add 1tbsp caster sugar and the apple wedges. Cook for about 10 minutes until the apples are soft and golden, set aside to cool.
- Beat together the remaining butter and caster sugar until pale, soft and fluffy. Gradually mix in the eggs. Sieve together the flour and baking powder, add to the egg mixture and then carefully, using a large metal spoon fold in, take care not to 'knock' too much of the air out of the mixture. Add the creme fraiche (or mascarpone cheese) and mix until smooth.
- Spoon around two thirds of the cake mixture into the tin, level and then scatter over one third of the granola mixture and a quarter of the berries. Top with the remaining cake mixture and level again. Then scatter on another third of the granola and arrange the apple wedges and remaining blackberries on top. Finally top with the remaining granola mixture.
- Bake for about 1.5 hours. If the cake looks like it is browning too quickly then cover it loosely with a piece of greaseproof paper, which will prevent the top burning.
- Cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes and then transfer to a serving plate or just cut it up and eat it right away.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x12-inch baking dish generously.
- Whisk flour, sea salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Combine walnuts, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until walnuts and sugar are thoroughly coated with butter.
- Cream butter and sugar together in another bowl with a spatula until well blended. Add 1 egg and whisk until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in second egg until thoroughly incorporated. Add vanilla extract and yogurt; whisk together. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; whisk just until flour disappears. Do not overmix.
- Remove cores from apples. Cut across into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices. Stack up a few slices, make 1 cut down the center, and dice across into cubes. Add to cake batter, folding in with a spatula until just combined.
- Spread 1/2 of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter 1/2 of the crumble mixture evenly over the top. Top with the rest of the batter in dollops. Spread carefully to evenly distribute, trying not to disturb the crumbs. Top with the rest of the crumb mixture. Press crumbs into the batter very gently.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick or bamboo skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before slicing and serving.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a small ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Add the apples, lemon juice and 2 tbsp of the coconut sugar. Cook for about 5 mins, stirring until the apples soften, then turn up the heat and cook for another 2 mins to caramelise them
- Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle with the granola, blob over the cashew nut butter and then sprinkle the remaining sugar over. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-15 mins, until the granola topping turns golden
Tips:
- Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for this cake. Choose a variety that is firm and tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a combination of sugars: Using a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar will give the cake a more complex flavor.
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter is essential for giving the cake a rich, moist texture. Use unsalted butter for the best flavor.
- Toast the granola: Toasting the granola will give it a nutty flavor and make it more crispy.
- Serve the cake warm: This cake is best served warm, when the apples are still soft and the granola is still crispy.
Conclusion:
Apple and granola crumble cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover apples, and it is also a crowd-pleaser. With its combination of sweet apples, crunchy granola, and a moist cake batter, this cake is sure to be a hit.
