Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Using an electric mixer or a pastry cutter, cut in butter until the mixture forms pea-size pieces. Press 2/3 of the mixture onto bottom and 1 inch up the side of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel apples, cut into thin slices, and place in a bowl. Pour off any accumulated liquid. Toss apple slices with remaining teaspoon cinnamon and lemon juice, and put them in the prepared pan, pressing down gently as you pack them in (they will mound above the edge of the pan). Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top.
- Put the pan on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, and let the cake cool in the pan to set. Serve at room temperature.

APPLE PIE SPICE CAKE
A not too sweet and almost foolproof spice apple cake. You can also make this in a bundt pan. But I think the springform round cake shape seems appropriate for this cake. Optional spices can be added like cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, a pinch of ground cloves, etc.

Tips: Achieving Apple Pie Spice Cake Perfection
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Freshly grated apples, pure vanilla extract, and premium spices make a significant difference.
- Proper Measuring: Follow the recipe's measurements accurately. Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients.
- Creaming Butter and Sugar: Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
- Mixing Dry and Wet Ingredients: Alternately add dry and wet ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Begin and end with dry ingredients to prevent curdling.
- Grated Apples: Use a box grater to grate the apples for a fine and evenly distributed texture in the cake.
- Spices: Use a combination of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice for a classic apple pie spice blend. You can adjust the proportions to suit your taste.
