Melt 1/2 cup of butter and add it to a mixing bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the melted butter and mix together.

Crack in 2 large eggs and mix until combined.

Add 3 tablespoons of milk or cream to the mixture and stir.

Measure out 1/4 cup of white flour and add it to the bowl.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, then mix everything together.

Prepare a springform pan by securing the bottom and spraying it with non-stick spray.

Take 4 cups of apples, cut them, and spread them evenly over the cake batter in the pan.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing 3/4 cup of white flour, 4 cups of old-fashioned oats, and 1/2 cup of sugar.

Cut 6 tablespoons of cold butter into small pieces and add to the dry mixture.

Use your hands to mix the butter into the dry ingredients until you get pea-sized lumps.

Sprinkle the streusel topping over the apples in the pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.

After baking, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before unhinging the springform pan.

Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
