Apple Crumble Cake

It's a hard decision to choose between ice cream or chocolate sauce, so I had both!

It’s been a very long while since I have enjoyed such a cake – full of bite with apple, a bit of tart and sweet topped off with a flaky crust.  This is about the only time that I pare and core apples, but the effort is worth it. I would go for the granny smith anytime because it is able to withstand the baking without compromising texture.

Ingredients :

2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
3 T   rum
1/2 t pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 t baking powder
Pinch of salt
