Apple and Cinnamon Crumble Cake

A tasty cake from Taste of the Caribbean. Posted for ZWT III. This cake is nice, but ended up a bit dry when made according to the original recipe - I reduced the amount of flour a bit and baked it for a much shorter time - may have to play around with it a bit more.

We didn't think the cake was dry at all! My son and I baked this last night and we were very scared it would overflow our 9 inch deep dish pie pan. In fact, the next time I will make it in a 9 x 13 inch pan. The very middle did not get all the way done so I think that spreading the cake out will help a lot. Great taste. We loved the topping.Reply
