Carla says
This recipe looks amazing and I want to try it out this coming weekend! Only I seem to be missing something as I can’t find the recipe for “the most amazing caramel glazing”???
Lidia Simic says
Hi Carla, in this recipe I used the purchase caramel glaze, but if you want a real recipe I can send you. Enjoy!
Mariah says
Hmmmmmm, not quite sure how you spread half the batter on top of the crumb layer. There’s hardly any batter at all! In the oven now, hoping it turns out.
Kathy says
Did it turn out for you?
Emma says
Will this work with peaches instead of apples (just thinking of the source cream) definitely looks delicious!
Lidia Simic says
Hi Emma, I have made it with apples but I think it would be delicious with peaches too. Good luck and enjoy!
Maryann Machese says
I am going to make this this weekend
looks delish
Lidia Simic says
🙂
Kathy says
Are you adding half the streusel on top of the apples then another layer of batter then another layer of streusel? I’m a little confused about the crumb and the streusel, are they the same thing?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Kathy, you are right! You need to add streusel on the top of apples and on the batter. Good luck and enjoy!
Dawn says
For the cake ingredients you have 1/2 cup granulated sugar but only have 1/4 cup added to the 4 tablespoons of softened butter. Where does the other 1/4 cup of sugar go?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Dawn, you need to add 1/4 cup of sugar in dry ingredients. Good luck and enjoy!
Neshmia says
Just tried this! The batter was less for the top layer, yes, but the whole thing filled out till the top of the pan 🙂 it was delicious!! Can’t get enough of hot apple crumble topped with caramel sauce. My only problem was…it was too crumbly? Doesn’t stay in place in the shape of a slice when I cut it and it all crumbles into pieces. Tasty nevertheless!!!
Lidia Simic says
Thanks for sharing this nice comment Neshmia! 🙂
Jeannine says

Maria says
I made this cake today, just took it out of the oven. It was so easy to make and I can’t wait to try it! I do believe the batter wasn’t enough for two layers but I made it work. I will be adding vanilla ice cream 🙂 thanks for the recipe!

April Schels says
Can I doubled this recipe to bake in a 13×9 dish
Lidia Simic says
Hi April, Yes, you can do that. Happy baking!
Brooke says
Does this need to be refrigerated after you bake it?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Brooke, You don’t have to refrigerate it for day or two, but for longer storage I suggest to place it in the fridge. Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!
Brenda says
This looks delicious and perfect for the meet the girlfriends’s parents dinner.
Did I miss something though? Shouldn’t the preheating step 9 and springform pan prep step 10 be at the beginning of the directions and not after discussion of assembly?
Lidia says
Hi Brenda, Yes you are right. Sorry for the mistake. I’ll correct the recipe.
