Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease or spray with non-stick spray an 9x9 inch baking pan, set aside. You could use a 8x8 if you want a thicker cake, just remember to bake an extra 10-15 minutes.
Crumble
In a bowl, whisk together all the crumble dry ingredients, then add the melted butter and vanilla and stir until mixture becomes crumbly and moist.
Apple Crumble Coffee Cake
In a large bowl, cream together butter and honey for about 2 minutes.
Add eggs and beat well, then add Greek yogurt and vanilla and continue beating until combined.
In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder and add to the butter mixture, stir until just combined.
Spread half the batter at the bottom of the pan. Layer will be very, very thin, but will rise in the oven, so don't freak out! :)
Place the 2/3rds of the apple chunks evenly over the batter, then spoon 1/2 cup caramel dip over the apples (warm up in microwave makes it easier) then sprinkle 1 cup of the crumbles over the caramel and apples.
Spread the remaining batter over the crumbles, with a butter knife as best as you can, then add the rest of the apples and sprinkle the rest of the crumbles on top.
Bake 35-40 minutes.
Let cool on baking rack in pan.
Caramel Glaze
After cake has cooled, whisk together the powdered sugar, caramel dip and milk until mixed well. Put in microwave for 30 seconds and then drizzle over the cake.
Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Serve warm with ice cream and more caramel glaze. Serve for breakfast or snacking. Add Sea Salt for the Salted Caramel effect.
