This wats my first time making a crumble cake, but I don't think it will be my last. My Father in Law bought us a massive bag of apples from his garden and there is only so much apple pie one family can eat. I therefore decided I would do something new.

Obviously the topping to this cake is rather crumbly. Therefore eating it with some custard or ice cream straight from the oven would work well. When I make it again, I will make the cake mixture slightly thinner. The addition of some caramel underneath the crumble layer would work really well too.

To make the crumble topping:

2. Mix all the cake ingredients together and spread over the tin.
3. For the crumble topping rub the butter and flour together.
