Filled with the flavors of brown sugar, warming cinnamon, and cozy spices, this crumb cake is so comforting and one of my favorite recipes to bake during apple season.

Nearly fall-apart tender and crowned with a golden buttery topping, the apple-studded cake is ideal for savoring and sharing.

Best of all, when served up at breakfast with steaming mugs of coffee, this crumb cake suddenly bears a striking resemblance to homemade coffee cake. I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and butter and flour a 10-inch springform pan.
2. For the crumb topping, combine sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl; add melted butter and toss mixture with a fork until crumbly. Chill topping in the freezer until needed.
3. For the cake, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Beat butter and sugars in a large mixer bowl at medium speed until creamy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well; beat in vanilla. Combine yogurt and milk in a small bowl. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in two additions, alternating with yogurt mixture. Fold in apples.
4. Scrape batter into prepared baking pan (batter will be thick) and smooth with an offset spatula; tap pan sharply to remove air bubbles and sprinkle with crumb topping.
5. Bake for 60 minutes, until edges are golden, cake springs back to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes before removing sides from pan; let cool before serving.
