Ingredients

Ingredients:

For the Streusel:

1 cup light brown sugar

1 cup chopped Apples

1 cup sliced almonds, pecans or walnuts ( optional )

¼ cup All-purpose flour

1 tsp. Ground cinnamon

3 Tbs. margarine or butter, melted

For the Cake:

2 cups All-purpose flour

1 tsp. Baking powder

1 tsp. Baking soda

½ cup ( 1 stick ) margarine or butter, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

½ tsp. Vanilla extract

1/3 cup Orange juice

For the Glaze:

½ cup confectioners' sugar

2 ½ tsp. Orange juice

Directions

Making the Streusl:

1)Preheat oven to 350º. Grease a 9 or 10-inch tube pan. To prepare streusel, in a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, apples, almonds, flour and cinnamon. Stir in melted margarine or butter.

Making the Cake:

1) In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda; mix well. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat margarine or butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time; beat well after each addition. Add vanilla extract.

2) Set mixer to low; alternately beat flour mixture and orange juice into egg mixture. Spoon half of batter into tube pan. Sprinkle with half of streusel.

3) Spoon the remaining margarine or butter over the streusel, spreading to make an even layer. Swirl batter with a knife to create a marble pattern.

4) Bake for 15 minutes. Remove cake from oven; sprinkle top with remaining streusel. Return cake to the oven; bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely.

Making the Glaze:

1) Combine confectioners' sugar and orange juice. Mix well. Turn cake out onto a serving plate; invert so streusel is on top. Drizzle glaze over cake; serve.

Apple Streusel Muffins:

Alternate layers of batter and streusel mixture in a greased muffin tin, finishing with a sprinkling of streusel mixture. Rember to shorten the baking time.

Note: Added Appeal: fresh or dried cranberries, dark or golden raisins, fresh raspberries and even flaked coconut make delicious additions to the streusel mixture in this cake.

Dessert Idea: in addition to breakfast and coffee breaks, this moist apple cake makes a stunning dessert when served warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Icing tip: Sprinkle the sugar glaze with cinnamon for a special touch.

Good Idea: Substitute chopped pears for the apples. Or for a double treat, try a combination of the two.
