Looking for something a bit different to make with your apples this season? How about trying these Mini Easy Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cakes?

The combination of apple and cinnamon is a match made in heaven. They are perfect for any type of weather. Plus, you can grab a napkin and take them on the go. This recipe is based on my mom’s traditional Apple Cake recipe. I shortened the recipe by using a box brand mix.

I prefer to use Krusteaz Crumb Cake mix. You can skip using the heavy cream and sour cream for this recipe. If you are looking for a recipe that doesn’t use sour cream, I would love for you to try out this Cinnamon Coffee Cake recipe.

Ingredients Needed

• 1 box crumb cake mix kit (Krusteaz)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 5-6 medium fresh apples
• ¾ cup light brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• pecans – optional

Other cakes that include the addition of fruit or veggies (like Carrot Cheesecake Cake Cookies or Southern Banana Pudding Poke Cake) tend to be super moist and delicious, and this apple cake is the perfect example of that!

How to Make This Apple Cake with Cinnamon

STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then begin peeling and coring all 5 – 6 medium apples into quarter-size pieces place in a large bowl with vanilla extract, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then combine and set aside.

I use a pretty handy apple corer. No matter the size of your apples, you can always easily remove the core with this apple corer.

STEP TWO: Next in a separate bowl, mix the Krusteaz Crumb Cake according to the directions. Then add apples to the mixture. Keep in mind that you do not want to over-mix the batter.

Spend just a few minutes stirring all the ingredients in with a spoon, making sure that all have been incorporated.

STEP THREE: Use a six-count large muffin or mini cake pan. When scooping the batter, make sure you fill the muffin tin to the top as this batter does not rise much with the apples included. Then use the leftover brown sugar from the cake mix kit and your (optional) pecans sprinkled on top before baking.

STEP FOUR: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Use a cake poker to check if the batter is baked.

Best Apples for Baking

Granny Smith apples and Empire apples are my favorite types for any kind of baking, especially in dessert recipes, where the apple is the star of the show. The tartness with the addition of the sugars plays well together. Just ask my family about my apple pie.
