Tips:

  • Use Granny Smith apples: These apples hold their shape well when baked and have a tart flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet streusel topping.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a 9x13 inch baking dish: This size dish will give the cake a nice height and prevent it from being too thin.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help the streusel topping set and the cake will be easier to slice.

This apple cinnamon streusel cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
