Method

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine the softened butter or margarine, 3/4 cup flour, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice. Mash the ingredients together with a fork until a crumbly texture forms. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the honey, crushed walnuts, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1/2 tablespoon allspice until evenly coated. Set this mixture aside.

  4. 4

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine all the cake batter ingredients: 3 cups flour, sugar, oil, eggs, orange juice, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt.

  5. 5

    Mix on low speed for 1 minute to incorporate the ingredients. Then, increase the speed to medium and whisk for 6-7 minutes to aerate the batter.

  6. 6

    Pour about half of the cake batter into an ungreased fluted tube pan.

  7. 7

    Arrange half of the prepared apple filling in an even layer over the batter.

  8. 8

    Pour the remaining batter over the apples, spreading it evenly to cover them.

  9. 9

    Decorate the top of the cake with the remaining apple slices.

  10. 10

    Generously sprinkle the crumble topping all over the surface of the cake.

  11. 11

    Place the pan on the middle rack in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour and 10-15 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  12. 12

    Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Do not remove it from the pan while it is warm. After it has cooled, you can remove the outer and inner parts of the tube pan.

  13. 13

    Serve and enjoy this piece of family history.
