Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1 tsp ginger
5g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 dash salt
1g
3 eggs
150g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1/3 cup hazelnuts
40g
1 cup buttermilk
230g
1 tbsp baking powder
16g
2 apples
320g
1/3 cup hazelnuts
40g
1 cup light sour cream
230g
1/2 cup apple juice
120g

Instructions:

2. Burn the Butter:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. This process should take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, ginger, lemon zest, and salt.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Slowly incorporate the cooled burnt butter into the mixture.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped hazelnuts carefully.
6. Prepare Apples and Assemble:
- Arrange half of the sliced apples evenly at the bottom of the greased cake pan.
- Pour half of the cake batter over the apples.
- Place the remaining apple slices in an even layer on top and cover with the rest of the batter.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped hazelnuts over the top.
7. Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

- Use fresh, crisp apples for the best texture and flavor in your cake.

- To avoid lumps, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing.

- Burn the butter for the caramel carefully; it should reach a golden brown color but not get scorched.

- Let the cake cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

- For an extra crunch, sprinkle additional hazelnuts on top before serving.

By following these steps, you'll achieve a wonderfully moist apple crumble cake topped with a flavorful burnt butter caramel. Serve this cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.
