  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar

ingredients

Apple Chai Glaze:

  • 2 teaspoons macerated apple juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    Brown the butter over medium-low heat in a small pan. Stir constantly until the butter turns an amber brown color. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

  • Step 3

    In a small bowl, combine sliced apples, chai spices, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Allow it to macerate while preparing the cake batter.

  • Step 4

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cooled browned butter, oat milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and brown sugar for the cake batter. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until well combined.

  • Step 5

    Add the flour, salt, and baking soda to the wet ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth.

  • Step 6

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Drain the juices from the marinated apples and set aside. Arrange the sliced apples on top of the cake batter.

  • Step 7

    In a separate bowl, combine chai spices, melted butter, brown sugar, and flour for the crumble topping. Sprinkle the crumble over the apple slices.

  • Step 8

    Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Step 9

    Allow the cake to cool for 20-30 minutes.

  • Step 10

    Prepare the glaze by combining macerated apple juice and powdered sugar. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
