For the Crumbs
- Combine oil, cashew butter and syrup in a small bowl with the back of a fork.

For the Cake

- Whisk together all wet ingredients in a separate small bowl and pour into the dry ingredients.
- Whisk everything together until all lumps are gone and a smooth batter is achieved.
Assemble
- Grease the bottom and sides of an 8” skillet (an 8” cake pan will work too) with coconut oil.
- Pour half the cake batter into skillet and spread it so it fills the pan to its sides.
- Pour all of the apple mixture on top of that, making an even layer that covers the cake batter.
- Pour the rest of the cake batter over the apple layer, filling the skillet to the top.
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the whole top, breaking the pieces up with your fingers as you sprinkle.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
