Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch springform pan with butter or cooking spray and dust with flour; set aside.
Make streusel topping. Mix sugars, spice blend, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in melted butter. Using a fork, gently mix in flour until crumbles form – do not overmix. Set aside.
Make cake batter. In a medium bowl, stir flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined. Set aside. In a clean, medium bowl, beat the butter and chai sugar on high spead until smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed, then add egg, sour cream, and vanilla; beat on medium-high speed until combined. On low speed, mix in dry ingredients – in 2 stages – until just incorporated; do not overmix. In a separate bowl, toss chopped apples with spice blend.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Top evenly with spiced apples, then crumble the streusel topping over the apples.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 30 to 45 minutes before slicing.
