Instructions

In a bowl, mix diced apples with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In another bowl, blend all-purpose flour, dark brown sugar, and ground cinnamon for the crumble. Add butter and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together. In a separate bowl, beat room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and eggs until fluffy. Add sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
Pour half of the cake batter into a greased baking pan. Layer cinnamon apples evenly on top, then add remaining batter. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the cake.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, maple syrup, sour cream, vanilla extract, and enough water to achieve a drizzleable consistency for the glaze.
Allow the cake to cool before drizzling the maple glaze over the top before serving.

Notes

Best served warm or at room temperature. Pairs nicely with vanilla ice cream or coffee.
