FAQs on Apple Crumble Cake

2. Can I use frozen apples for my Apple Crumble Cake recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen apples, but thaw and drain them first to avoid extra moisture in the batter.
3. Why is my crumble topping too soggy?
A soggy crumble can occur due to too much butter or not enough flour. Adjust the butter-to-flour ratio and make sure the topping is crumbly before adding it to the cake. Be sure to follow the above-mentioned recipe for Apple Crumble Cake carefully.
4. How do I prevent the crumble topping from burning?
If the crumble is browning too fast, cover the cake with foil. Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to let the topping crisp.
