Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cake
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil such as canola or vegetable
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup applesauce unsweetened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 apples peeled, cored, and diced
Crumb Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup margarine pareve, chilled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Add the oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
  6. For the crumb topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the margarine using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a variation, add a handful of chopped nuts to the crumb topping for added texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
