Week 14- Mom's Apple Crumb Cake

This week I made a recipe that runs in the family, my mom's apple crumb cake. In fact, I made this for my mom because it was her birthday. It was a bit rushed because of how things turned out, but all was well in the end.
Some things I would do differently: I would add more apples, maybe juicier ones for a more moist crumb because I thought the crumb part was a little too dry (well dryer than usual). Also, my mom always adds a lot of cinnamon for that kick, so I'll add more cinnamon next time. I also incoorporated the butter a little too much so a lot of the crumb part was more 'sandy' than little bits of crumb.
Despite my changes I'd make, my dad was supposed to give the rest of the cake to my mom the next day, and of course he finished it off throughout the day. He tried to go out and buy an apple pie to compensate for the one he ate. Store bought apple pie is not match for any home baked apple pie.

'Scuse the picture, I need a better camera. Mine is not good at taking up close shots. By the way, I use a flip video camera, record a 'shot' very still, upload it on my computer, and then take a screen shot of what I recorded.
