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.
