Crumble

Prepare one batch of my crumble recipe then crumble it onto 2 baking trays lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes - stirring with a wooden spoon halfway through. You want it to be crispy, crunchy little bits.

Pie Crust

Prepare 2 batches of my pie dough recipe then divide it into 4 equal parts and chill it for 20 minutes. Roll each part into discs then cut them into perfect circles using an upside down 7” round cake pan as your guide (or any circle smaller than 8”). Play on a tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat then prick it with a fork. Place another circle of parchment paper on top and add cake pans filled with pie weights or dry beans on top. Bake each for 20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once you remove your pie down from the oven, brush the surfaces with a beaten egg and sprinkle them with turbinado sugar. Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until golden.

Small Crust

Roll out your dough and place a small pie plate on top. Trim away any excess then pinch the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Place parchment on top and another pie plate then flip both pans over. Place a cake pan filled with pie weights on top then bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once you remove it from the oven, remove the cake pan and flip it over then remove the other pie pan and parchment paper. Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until golden.

Bake Your Cakes

Line your pans with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare 7.5lbs of vanilla spice cake batter then divide evenly into your three 8” round cake pans and bake each for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Level & Layer

Level all your cakes then layer each into two layers for a total of 6 cakes. Leave all of the caramelization.

Keep It Simple!

Use Sir Squeeze A Lot to soak all of your cake layers with simple syrup then let them sit for a couple minutes to absorb.

Cinnamon Buttercream

Add cinnamon to your Italian meringue buttercream until you are happy with the taste.

Sauteed Apples

Peel and core your apples then cut each apple into 16 wedges. Saute them in butter on both sides to caramelize. Allow to cool.

More Sauteed Apple

Sautee more apples (for the mini pie) but this time, add some turbinado sugar and cinnamon. Saute until the sugar dissolves then allow to cool.

Stack it Up!

Stack your cake from the bottom up as follows:

Cake layer
Cinnamon IMBC
Pie crust disc
Cooked apples
Pipe rings of cinnamon IMBC
Sprinkle on crumble
Cake layer

Repeat this pattern until you are out of cake layers.

Crumb Coat & Chill

Crumb coat your entire cake with cinnamon Italian meringue buttercream then let it chill until firm in the fridge.

Colorful Whole Egg Buttercream

Color 4 cups of your whole egg buttercream red then color the remaining 1 cup yellow.

Ice Ice Cakey

Ice your cake with red buttercream using a bench scraper to smooth out the edges then let it chill until firm in the fridge.

Yellow Patches

Add patches of yellow buttercream to the cake then scrape it around.

Mini Pie

Assemble your mini pie using the baked mini crust, cooled cooked apples, and crumble, then dust it with icing sugar.

FUNdant Apple

Roll out some green fondant then cut out an apple. Roll out a darker green then cut out leaves, add texture, then pinch the ends. Roll out a bit of brown fondant into a little cord then cut it into a stem.

Final Touch

Add the fondant apple to the side of the cake then place the mini pie on top and voila! You’re done!
