Incorporate 6 tablespoons of cold butter into the crumble mixture until crumbly.

In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs into the creamed butter and sugar mixture, one at a time.

In another bowl, combine 1 cup and 1/4 flour, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with 3 tablespoons of whole milk until fully incorporated.

Layer the thick batter into the springform pan and top with sliced apples.

Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
