Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9”³ x 13”³-inch baking pan with non-stick baking spray. Line it with a sheet of parchment paper leaving a generous overhang for easy removal; set aside.
Using a stand or electric mixer (or mix by hand) mix together 2/3 cup of sugar, lemon zest and butter. Add eggs, one at a time then vanilla extract.
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture into the egg mixture, 1/3 at a time, mixing each time until just moistened, while scraping down the sides. Add sour cream and mix until combined (do not overmix).
In a small bowl add sliced apples and douse with lemon juice, using your fingers to combine; set aside.
Dollop batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread the batter into an even layer. Place the apple slices over the top of the batter, then place the cranberries over the apple slices. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top.
For the crumb: Mix flour, muscovado sugar, salt and butter in a medium bowl with your fingertips until it looks like wet sand. Sprinkle evenly over the entire batter and bake for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick/tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before cutting into the pan. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
