– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 cup milk
– 4-5 medium apples (about 4 cups sliced)
– 2 tbsp granulated sugar for apples
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon for apples

Notes
🍎 Choose firm, tart apples like Granny Smith to hold shape and balance sweetness without turning mushy during baking.
🥄 Don’t overmix the batter—lumps are okay for tenderness; overworking develops gluten for a tough, gummy cake.
🧈 Press crumb topping firmly for even coverage; loose sprinkles can sink, but a light pat ensures that crunchy layer stays crisp.
