¾ cup organic sugar [185g]

  • 2 medium sized apples [around 180 to 220g] peeled and chopped *these are not in the batter but layered on top

Sugar Glaze

  • 3 tbsp organic powdered sugar [22g]
  • 1-2 tsp water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the crumb topping by adding all the dry ingredients into a bowl. Use a knife to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. Then use clean hands 
to crumble the butter in to make big clumps.
  • Prepare the vegan egg according to the package directions.
  • Use a whisk or spoon to mix the vegan egg, vegan sour cream, vegan butter, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract and mix together.
  • Then add in flour, baking powder, and sugar.
  • Mix the batter until it looks thick like frosting. Do not overmix the batter once it is 
combined.
  • Line a 9 inch square baking dish with parchment paper. 
Add the batter to the bottom and spread it around. It will be low, but it rises a lot in the oven. Then add the apples on top, and finally cover with the crumb topping.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the crumb topping is browned and toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool for at least half hour to an hour.
  • Make the sugar glaze by whisking the together to make a thick glaze. You can add more or 
less water to get it to your desired consistency. Then drizzle on top of the cake.
  • Cut the take into however many pieces you like. I did 16 smaller squares.
