Method

1. You should start by preparing the apples. Peel, then cut them in squares. Place them in a pan along with 1-2 tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of brown sugar, and cook them on low heat until they soften. After they are done, let them cool until you prepare your cake mixture; 
2. Mix the sugar along with the room temperature butter until you get a cream consistency (about 10-15 minutes depending on your mixing speed);
3. Add the eggs and mix until well combined;
4. Add the baking powder and the flour and combine all of the ingredients;
5. Now carefully add the apples into the cake mixture, and stir gently with a wooden spoon; 
6. You can now prepare the crumb by mixing the dry ingredients first then add the melted butter. Stir well with a tablespoon until everything is well combined;
7. In a cake pan place a parchment paper then grease it with some butter all over;
8. Preheat the oven at 185ºC;
9. Put the mixture into the cake pan then add the crumble on top;
10. Put it in the oven for 33-40 minutes until it passes the toothpick test (meaning that you should insert a toothpick in the cake and it should come out clean).
