This Cinnamon Apple Crumble Loaf Cake is easy to bake, delicious and packed with fall flavor!
Featuring a soft cake base, crisp cinnamon crumble and delicious maple glaze, I recommend serving this sweet loaf as a Thanksgiving dessert, or, even better, for breakfast to give you the sugar kick you need to power through a big turkey dinner!

- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. Heinen’s organic ground cinnamon
- 1 stick Heinen's unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Heinen’s organic light brown sugar

- 1 cup Gala or Honeycrisp apples, peeled and chopped
For the Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line a 9×4 loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- Combine the crumble topping ingredients – brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, unsalted butter and vanilla extract – in a small bowl and mix until crumbly. Set in the freezer.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the butter and sugar in a separate large mixing bowl and mix until well combined and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- Add the Greek yogurt and dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in the apples.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle the crumble on top. Bake for 60-65 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes.
- Make the drizzle by whisking the powdered sugar, milk and maple syrup until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze on the cooled loaf and serve.
Notes:
- Use any type of sweet apple – Gala, Honeycrisp or Fuji are all great in this cake.
- Baking time will vary for each loaf. At 55 minutes, use a toothpick to test it and bake until the toothpick comes out clean and dry.
