Set the cinnamon sugar mixture aside.

Make the crumble topping by melting half a cup of vegan butter in a bowl, then adding granulated sugar, more flour, and cinnamon, mixing with a fork until crumbly.

Set the crumble topping aside.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine melted vegan butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla bean paste, whisking until mixed.

Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and plant-based milk, folding together until just combined, leaving the batter slightly chunky.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it to touch all corners.

Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the batter in the pan.

Pour the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon sugar filling, smoothing it out.

Top with the crumble topping, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan before serving.
