Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray.
Peel and core your apples. Slice into pieces about 1/4 inch thick. Take each slice and cut in half (or thirds) to make smaller pieces. This makes it easier to eat! Set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, waiting for the first one to completely disappear into the batter before adding the second one.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Fold half of the dry ingredients into the batter. Add the vanilla and half of the milk, then the rest of the dry ingredients, then the rest of the milk. Mix until barely combined.
Transfer the batter to the prepared springform pan. Add the apples on top in a single layer, trying not to overlap too much. Add the streusel topping.
Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until a test toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan before releasing the springform. You can run a knife along the edges before releasing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve with the chilled custard poured on top. Enjoy!
