Notes
Do not overmix the crumb topping. You want there to be some texture to the topping.
Cool cake completely before slicing
If you’d like to use a stand mixer to mix your ingredients for this apple crumb cake, be sure to not over mix your batter. Over mixing the batter will cause your cake to be tough and chewy.
If your crumb topping is browning too fast in the oven before your cake is done baking, you can cover the top with tin foil.
