• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs, room temperature

For the glaze:

Directions:

1. Prepare Your Space: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your baking pan, ensuring complete coverage.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Mix in sour cream and milk until smooth.
4. Incorporate Apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
5. Make the Crumble: Combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in chopped pecans.
6. Layer and Top: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
7. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Finish with Glaze: While the cake cools, whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the slightly warm cake.
