60 minThis is the cake you bake when you owe somebody a favor, and it’ll more than settle the score.
A rich sour cream batter gets layered with apple pie filling right in the pan, so every slice has a ribbon of sweet, spiced fruit running through the middle.
On top sits a crumbly streusel of butter, sugar, chopped nuts, and cinnamon that bakes up golden and crunchy.
It comes together quickly with pantry staples and one can of pie filling, which makes it a lifesaver for potlucks, teacher gifts, or “I’m sorry I forgot your birthday” situations.
Kitchen Tips
- Use real butter instead of margarine for richer flavor and a crispier topping
- Cherry pie filling works just as well as apple if you want to switch things up
- Refrigerating the streusel topping for 10 minutes before spreading is key. It firms up the butter so the crumble stays chunky instead of melting flat
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing or the pie filling layer will ooze everywhere
