How to Make Apple Oatmeal Crumb Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Reserve ½ cup of the crumb mixture for the topping. Set aside.
5. Add 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ cup apple juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg to the remaining crumb mixture.
6. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until just combined.
7. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
9. Sprinkle the reserved crumb topping evenly over the batter.
10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should also spring back when lightly touched.
11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
