APPLE CRUMB CAKE WITH CRÈME FRAÎCHE GLAZE
Bake from Scratch Vol. 4
Filled with layers of roasted apples and topped off with an Orange-Cinnamon Streusel and tangy glaze, this crumb cake is sweet to the core. We used Honeycrisp apples for their sweet-tart flavor, but if you can't find Honeycrisps, any other bright baking apple, like Granny Smith or Braeburn, will do.
