- 2/3 cup cold butter
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9x13 baking pan. Measure first 3 ingredients in a resealable plastic bag. Add apple slices and shake. Set aside. Combine rest of cake ingredients and mix until moistened. Then mix on medium for 2 more minutes. Pour cake batter into prepared pan. Place apple slices in rows over top of cake batter. Press down each slice until just the top shows. Bake for 20 minutes.
While cake is baking, prepare crumb/streusel topping. Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Use a pastry blender to combine ingredients. When finished, mixture should resemble coarse crumbs. Carefully, remove cake from oven and sprinkle crumbs over the top. Return to oven and bake for another 20 minutes. Place on rack for cooling.
