Apple Cake and Streusel Topping
What to do? With three apples on the way out in the fridge, not enough to make a pie, and a can of apple pie filling but no flaky pie dough. The answer - Apple cake and streusel topping.
This isn't a traditional recipe since I'm using pie filling but it did come out fairly well, and with the streusel topping it's great
Directions
- Prepare the topping first.
- Place the sugars, cinnamon,salt and flour in a bowl and stir to combine.
- Pour the melted butter in and stir with a fork until all is combined and you have small pea sized pieces throughout.
- Don't break the pieces any smaller, you want the clumps in the final product.
- For the Cake: You can make this in a mixer, but it works best with a large bowl and a large spatula.
- Butter a 9 X 13 inch baking pan.
- Preheat oven to 325° In the bowl place the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar into the bowl and combine.
- Add the pie filling and stir until all the flour mixture is combined, then add the melted butter and eggs and mix completely.
- Pour into the baking pan and smooth out, sprinkle the streusel topping over the top covering the cake completely.
- Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick placed into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven place on a wire rack and let cool completely.
- If you want it sweet sprinkle the powdered sugar over all.
