  Make the cake
• 5 Preheat oven to 350°F. Prep a 9" springform pan [https://amzn.to/3vWlEtO] by
  coating it with non-sticking cooking spray and lining the bottom of the pan with
  parchment paper [https://amzn.to/3nwtiHa].
• 6 In a large bowl, whisk to combine flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder.
  Set aside.
• 7 Using a stand mixer or hand mixing and a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar
  together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the
  sour cream and vanilla.
• 8 With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients,
  mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• 9 Spread half of the batter into the bottom of the springform pan. Top with the
  apples, evenly covering the cake batter. Sprinkle one cup of the crumb topping
  over the apples. Add the remaining cake batter, and sprinkle with the remaining
  crumb topping.
• 10 Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the
  center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 20-30 minutes before
  releasing it from the springform pan.
• 11 Drizzle with icing and/or caramel sauce before serving, if desired.
