 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
 - ¾ teaspoon baking soda
 - ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
 - 1 cup white sugar
 - ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
 - 2 large eggs

Crumble Mixture
- 1 ½ cups finely chopped toasted walnuts
 - ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
 - ⅓ cup white sugar
 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 - ¼ teaspoon salt
 

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×12 baking dish with butter.
 - Make the crumble. Combine walnuts, brown sugar, white sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and salt. Mix until the walnuts and sugar are thoroughly coated with butter.
 - Mix the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
 - Mix the wet ingredients; cream, sugar, and butter. Combine well.
 - Add in 1 egg and whisk until smooth.
 - Whisk in another egg and incorporate. Add yogurt and vanilla, and mix.
 - Add the dry flour mixture and whisk until incorporated. Don’t overmix.
 - Remove the core from the apples and cut them into ⅛ to ¼-inch slices. Dice into cubes.
 - Add to the cake batter and mix until combined.
 - Spread half of the batter into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the crumble mixture on top and then the rest of the batter.
 - Top with the rest of the crumble mixture, pressing the crumbs into the batter gently.
 - Bake in the center rack of the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean. This should take about 40 minutes.
 - Let cool for about 30 minutes and serve. Pairs great with homemade vanilla ice cream.
