Ingredients

Apple Topping

  • 3 Tbsps unsalted butter
  • 4 cups apples , peeled, cored and cut into wedges 3
  • 3 Tbsps brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tsps ground cinnamon

Pumpkin Cake & Streusel

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cut into pieces at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup canned pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
  • cup sour cream
  • 2 Tbsps brown sugar
  • 2 tsps pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

Apple Topping

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add apples and sauté about 5 minutes till apples start to brown. Add sugar and cinnamon and cook another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9 or 10" springform pan with cooking spray. You may want to line the bottom with parchment paper to help transfer the cake to your serving platter when done.

Streusel

  • Combine flour, brown sugar, butter and salt in a large bowl. Transfer to food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Take ⅔ cup of the streusel mixture and set aside.

Pumpkin Cake

  • Beat the pumpkin puree, sour cream, 2 Tbsps sugar, spice and baking soda together. Then beat the pumpkin mixture into the remaining flour mixture from the Streusel mixture above. When well mixed beat in the eggs.
  • Transfer batter to the springform pan. Spread apples evenly over the top and sprinkle the reserve streusel mixture evenly over the apples.
  • Bake 60-70 minutes until a tooth pick in center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool about 20 minutes. Run a knife around the outer edge of the cake and remove the outer ring. Carefully transfer the cake to a serving plate. The cake is quite soft so loosen the bottom with an offset spatula and support the bottom while transferring to the platter.
  • Serve at room temperature or warm with ice cream.
