Ukrainian Apple Streusel Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/3 cup cream
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 4 large apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a small amount of butter and gently spread it evenly across the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish.
3
Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Utilize two knives or a pastry blender to blend the ingredients until they form a crumbly mixture.
4
In another bowl, whisk together cream and egg until well-combined. Gradually add this mixture to the flour mixture, gently stirring until a soft dough forms.
5
Press the dough into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
6
Arrange sliced apples in neat rows on top of the dough, overlapping them slightly to create a visually appealing pattern.
7
In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until well-combined. Utilize a pastry blender or two knives to blend the ingredients until they form a crumbly mixture.
8
Sprinkle this streusel topping evenly over the apples, making sure to cover the entire surface.
9
Bake the cake in your preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the apples have softened and the streusel topping has turned golden brown.
