Pre-heat your fan oven to 175c. grease and line a 9-inch round or square cake tin.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Mix in the oil and milk until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the apple cubes throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
