This hearty apple cake/crumble is made with olive oil, fresh apples and topped with a crunchy crumble.

I love anything with apples. They are so versatile, and I think apple pie is probably on the top of the best dessert list for most of us, but it is a bit time consuming and all that crust does add up the calories. Having said that, I do enjoy a traditional apple pie here and there, but for a lighter dessert I usually will go to apple cake. For this recipe I have combined the best of both worlds: an apple cake made with very little batter (it is mostly apples) and then I added a  crumble on top to get that crunch we all crave. It was delicious and gone by the end of the day. It’s a great alternative to apple pie and so easy to make! I use olive oil of course and it pairs very well with fruit plus you get all those good fats and antioxidants.
