Apple cake with crumb topping

Last week was definitely a lot of baking and this is another one from our kitchen- Apple cake with crumble topping !
I used the Betty Crocker recipe- 
http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/easy-apple-cake/5427daa2-21ac-4b09-bb6e-4c24437500ce
and I made the crumb topping with oil, sugar, oats and flour.  

PS- I used olive oil and half the sugar that the recipe calls for, as I had planned to use the crumb topping !

Apple jam- pressure cooker recipe

Ingredients :

4 Apples - Cleaned and processed in the food processor
else chopped. I did not peel.

1/2  cup water

2 cups sugar (I used brown)

Method:
In a pressure cooker, steam the chopped apples with water. I did this in the instant pot for 5 mins. Mash the apples .Turn on Saute function, add sugar and cook till the mixture thickens. If you want a smoother jam, you can blend the mixture before adding the sugar. I am going to try this in my next attempt.

I served the jam with everything I could!! - Parathas, chapatis, a spoonful or two as dessert - <3 br="">
