  • Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  • While the cake cools, prepare the cinnamon drizzle by whisking together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Drizzle the cinnamon mixture over the cooled cake.
  • Slice and serve your apple crumb cake warm or at room temperature.
