Apples are my second favorite fruit after the king of fruits. In fact, I love baking with apples more than mangoes. Apple Oats crumble cake is a delectable cake baked using whole wheat flour, apple and oats. Treat yourself with this healthy and filling dessert optionally with ice cream. This flavorful cake is topped with crispy oats crumble above a layer of fresh apple chunks, on a butter sponge cake. The addition of cinnamon or clove as the spice adds a zing to this cake. Warm or cold it tastes the best!

Instructions
 

  • Sieve whole wheat flour along with spice powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda 3 times to create a fine aeration.
  • Peel and chop the apple into small chunks. Sprinkle little lemon juice to avoid discoloration.
  • Prepare the crumble topping by mixing oats and sugar followed by melted and cooled butter.
