In a large mixing bowl whisk together the all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

To a separate medium sized mixing bowl whisk together the eggs avocado oil, milk and pure vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold to combine.

Pour cake batter into the prepared pan.

Sprinkle the prepared crumb topping on top of the apples, completely covering.
