COFFEE CAKE CRUMBLE:

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients. Using your fingers mash the ingredients together until the butter is nearly completely incorporated and the sugars look like wet sand. Set aside.

COFFEE CAKE:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In another large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, brown and white sugar, eggs, melted and cooled butter. Using a spatula, fold the flour mixture into the sour cream mixture until the mixture is nearly combined. There should be a couple of small streaks of flour left – that way you know you haven’t over mixed it.

Lastly, add in the diced apples and gently fold in to incorporate.

Pour into a sprayed 10” cast iron skillet. Spread out the cake out and smooth the tops. Sprinkle the pecan crumble over the top of each cake. Bake the cake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out nearly clean, with a couple of crumbs on it. Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve a slice with ice cream or coffee.
