2 medium-size tender-sweet apples, peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch cubes
Instructions:
3 tablespoons butter, cut into ½-inch cubes, plus extra for greasing pan
8 tender-sweet apple slices, unpeeled (garnish)
Instructions
Butter a 9-inch cake pan with removable sides. Set aside.
Make the topping: In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Sprinkle butter cubes over mixture and use your fingertips to work it into a crumbly topping. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the cake.
For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°. In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat until it begins to turn a medium nut-brown, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. In a medium-size bowl, beat egg and egg yolk to blend. Whisk in melted butter and buttermilk; then pour liquid mixture into flour mixture and stir just to combine. Fold in apple cubes and pour batter into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle topping over cake and arrange apple slices around the top, pressing them lightly into the topping. Bake until the top is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 45-55 minutes.
Set on a cooling rack for 20 minutes. Use a thin knife to loosen cake from sides of pan. Carefully remove sides, transfer cake to a platter, and serve warm.
