Ingredients

Crumble topping:

1 1/4 cups
Quaker® Old-Fashioned Oats
1/2 cup
unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 cup
packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp.
ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp.
kosher salt
8 Tbsp.
unsalted margarine

Apple cake:

Cooking spray
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 tsp.
ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp.
baking soda
1/4 tsp.
kosher salt
1/2
stick unsalted margarine, room temperature
1/2 cup
packed light brown sugar
1
large egg, room temperature
1 tsp.
pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup
sour cream
1
large (8-oz.) granny smith apple, peeled, cored, and chopped into ½-inch pieces

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Step 2Make the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the margarine and using your fingertips, squeeze the margarine into the dry mixture until everything is combined and crumbly; it should take about 3 minutes. Set aside.
3. Step 3Make the apple cake: Lightly coat a 9-inch round baking pan with non-stick cooking spray, line bottom with parchment, and spray parchment.
4. Step 4In another medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until to combine.
5. Step 5Using an electric mixer, beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla to combine.
6. Step 6Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour mixture, then sour cream, mixing until just combined. Using a spatula, fold in apples.
7. Step 7Transfer mixture to prepared baking pan and smooth into an even layer. Scatter crumble evenly over top and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.
8. Step 8Run an offset spatula or thin knife around the edges of the cake pan to ensure cake releases. Invert cake onto a plate. Remove and discard parchment, then invert cake right side up onto another plate or cake platter. Serve using a serrated knife for easiest cutting.
