Best Apple Crisp Pound Cake - How to Make Apple Crisp Pound Cake

Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Line a loaf pan with parchment and grease with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, toss apples with lemon juice, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and ½ tsp cinnamon. In another medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

Step 2In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter, granulated sugar, and remaining ¼ cup brown sugar together. Add eggs, one at a time, until incorporated, then add vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, then fold in apples.

Step 3To make topping, in a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, pecans, oats, and a pinch of salt. Add melted butter and mix until mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 4Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and top with oat mixture. Bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean and topping is golden, about 1 hour. Let cool completely.

Step 5Make glaze: In a medium bowl combine powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla. Thin with more heavy cream until desired consistency is reached.

Step 6Drizzle glaze over pound cake before serving.
