Servings: persons

1 box cake mix Funfetti
3 apples peeled & diced
1 tablespoon cinnamon divided
1 3/4 sticks butter divided
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg freshly
3/4 cup water
1 1/4 cups brown sugar divided
1 pinch salt
3 eggs
3/4 cup flour

1
Oven at 350 degrees.
2
Lets start with the sauteed cinnamon apples. In a pan stir together the apples, 1/2 stick butter, 1 Tbsp cinnamon, vanilla, orange juice, nutmeg, 1/4 cup brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Cook on medium until the apples have started to soften. About 5 minutes. Stir in the water and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, the liquid part will have thickened slightly. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
3
While the apples are cooling you can go ahead and start putting together the brown sugar crumb topping. This isn't a very crumbly topping, it has a slightly gooeyness too it and its fabulous! Into a food processor pulse the flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 1/4 stick softened butter and 2 tsp cinnamon. The consistency you are looking for is somewhere between crumbly and sticky (boy do I hope that makes sense to you). Lets be honest, either way it will taste delish, the texture may differ slightly, no big deal!
4
Now for the cake. In a bowl, add the Funfetti cake mix, eggs and the cooled apple mixture. Mix until well combined. Pour the cake into a buttered 8x8 pan. Top with the crumble and bake for 35-45 minutes.
5
The crumble topping will be slightly browned and a toothpick should come out clean when poked through. Once the cake is cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
